Role Overview
The Director of Logistics Real Estate Development and Investment will serve as the executive head for all development of fulfillment center real estate expansion, capital allocation, and heavy asset strategies in Taiwan. This leadership role is responsible for setting the macroeconomic and operational real estate vision, shaping the multi-year asset pipeline, and overseeing the end-to-end lifecycle of large-scale logistics and fulfillment facilities—from land banking and investment underwriting through complex governmental entitlements, high-value commercial structuring, design innovation, construction delivery, and stabilization. The Director will act as a primary executive sponsor, orchestrating cross-functional alignment across regional leadership, operations, finance, legal, and external institutional partners.
