Full Job Posting
About the Client
- Our client is a boutique executive outplacement firm in Dubai and Singapore serving the APMEA region.
- We are deliberately not a volume provider. We take a small number of mid to senior individuals and get them to the right next role — measured on placement quality and compensation retention, not logins to a portal.
- We are built for the churn realities of this region: expat transitions, visa linked exits, and executive moves where reputation and discretion matter.
The Role
- You will personally carry a small caseload of mid to senior professionals and executives through transition — strategy, positioning, market access, negotiation.
- You will do the actual work, at depth, with people who can afford to be picky about outcomes.
You'll recognise yourself here if you
- Have delivered outplacement or career transition inside a structured provider (LHH, Right Management, RiseSmart, Korn Ferry, Mercer, or a regional boutique) and know how that model works from the inside
- Have felt the tension between caseload volume and doing right by the individual
- Understand APMEA hiring, GCC labour and visa realities in different countries, and how executives actually get placed here
This Role Is NOT For You If
- You do not have outplacement consulting experience
- You do not have track record in supporting affected employees
- You need highly structured environments with clear playbooks
- You prefer relationship management without accountability
Benefits
- At Substance, we believe in genuine connections, not just filling roles.
- If your profile is a strong match, you’ll hear from us within 1 2 weeks.
- If not, no empty promises—just know we appreciate your interest, and we’ll keep you in mind for future opportunities where you can truly make an impact.
- Our focus is on building meaningful partnerships, so when the right role comes along, we’ll be ready to make it count.
