APAC GTM Director
About the company
At Blue Bottle, we believe great coffee is about more than the cup. It is about craft, hospitality, thoughtful design, and creating meaningful experiences for our guests.
About the role
We are looking for an APAC GTM Director to lead how Blue Bottle brings products, stories, and experiences to market across Asia Pacific.
This role will shape and execute our regional go-to-market strategy, with an initial focus on key markets including China, Japan, and Korea. You will work across product, brand, operations, e-commerce, supply chain, and local market teams to ensure that every launch is not only well executed, but also feels unmistakably Blue Bottle.

Shape the APAC go-to-market strategy
Build and lead the regional GTM roadmap in line with Blue Bottle’s brand and business priorities, translating growth ambitions into clear market plans, launch calendars, and commercial priorities.
•
Lead new product commercialization
Own the end-to-end GTM strategy for new and limited-time products across APAC, from market positioning and launch planning to channel activation, execution, and post-launch review.
•
Create integrated market activation
Develop thoughtful, locally relevant launch and marketing plans across online and offline channels, balancing regional consistency with market-specific consumer needs.
•
Connect strategy with execution
Partner closely with Product, R&D, Operations, Supply Chain, E-commerce, Brand, and local market teams to bring ideas to life in a way that is commercially effective and operationally executable.
•
Drive performance through insight
Build a clear regional performance framework across launches, campaigns, and markets. Use consumer, sales, and execution data to continuously refine strategy and improve impact.
•
Stay close to consumers and culture
Track evolving trends across coffee, hospitality, premium food and beverage, lifestyle, and consumer culture, and translate those insights into opportunities for Blue Bottle.
