Job Description

The Director, Information Technology – Materials Group APAC serves as the strategic technology partner to the executive leadership team for the Materials Group APAC business unit.

This role is accountable for defining, governing, and advancing the end-to-end technology strategy for Materials Group APAC—ensuring technology investments, platforms, and capabilities directly enable business growth, operational excellence, and competitive differentiation.

The Director operates as a trusted advisor to the SVP & CIO, the Materials Group General Manager, AMEA and the Materials Group General Manager, North Asia, translating business strategy into a cohesive, multi-year technology agenda and ensuring disciplined execution through Avery Dennison's enterprise IT ecosystem.

While the Director of IT for Materials Group APAC will report directly to the CIO, the position is designed to operate collaboratively and avoid adding multiple dotted-line structures in our highly matrixed IT organization. Success in this role depends on a strong, mutual partnership and alignment with the Materials Group General Manager, AMEA and the Materials Group General Manager, North Asia.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Technology Leadership

  • Own the technology vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for Materials Group APAC, fully aligned to the business strategy and Avery Dennison’s enterprise digital direction.
  • Serve as a senior advisor to Materials Group APAC executive leadership, translating business strategy into scalable technology solutions that accelerate growth, optimize operations, and elevate customer experience.
  • Establish clear technology principles, guardrails, and success metrics to guide investment and execution decisions.

Business Partnership & Investment Governance

  • Lead a value-based technology investment governance model, enabling transparent prioritization and trade-off decisions tied to business outcomes.
  • Partner with the AMEA and North Asia General Managers and leadership teams to integrate technology into core business operations—advancing commercial growth, driving factory excellence, empowering global functions, and maintaining a secure, scalable digital foundation.
  • Ensure that technology initiatives have clearly defined benefits, accountability, and realistic implementation plans.

Enterprise Orchestration & Execution Oversight

  • Act as the single point of accountability for Materials Group APAC technology outcomes, orchestrating execution across enterprise IT teams (Applications, Architecture, Infrastructure, Security, Data, PMO, Sourcing).
  • Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture and standards—balancing local business needs with global consistency.
  • Monitor execution health, risks, and dependencies across the portfolio, intervening as needed to protect outcomes.

Digital Optimization & Innovation Leadership

  • Lead the Materials Group APAC digital optimization agenda, identifying opportunities to modernize platforms, streamline operations, and unlock new capabilities.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and industry trends, translating relevance into pragmatic recommendations and pilots where appropriate.
  • Foster a culture of experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement while maintaining disciplined execution.

Change Leadership & Influence

  • Serve as a visible change leader, driving adoption of new capabilities and ways of working across Materials Group APAC.
  • Influence across a highly matrixed organization without relying on direct authority, aligning stakeholders around shared outcomes.
  • Communicate complex technology topics in clear, business-oriented language to executive audiences.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of progressive leadership experience spanning business and IT, including senior-level responsibility for technology strategy in a manufacturing or technology-enabled enterprise.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
  • Demonstrated success defining and governing enterprise or business-unit-level technology strategies in complex, matrixed organizations.
  • Experience overseeing large-scale ERP and platform transformations; Oracle Fusion experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of supply chain, operations, and data-driven transformation in manufacturing or operationally intensive environments.
  • Proven ability to operate at the executive level, influencing C-suite and business unit leaders in a global environment.
  • Track record of leading change, driving value realization, and balancing strategic vision with execution discipline.
  • Willingness to travel up to ~25%, with flexibility based on business needs.

Core AD Leadership Capabilities

The Director is expected to consistently demonstrate:

  • Display Agility
  • Champion Collaboration
  • Deliver Results
  • Build High-Performing, Diverse Teams
  • Lead Change
  • Simplify & Prioritize
  • Create Vision & Purpose
  • Provide Strategic Leadership
  • Think Outside-In
  • Nurture Innovation
