The Mission

We aren't looking for a paper-pusher. We need a proactive bridge-builder to navigate the complex Malaysian regulatory landscape. You will be our boots-on-the-ground expert, ensuring our data center operations move at the speed of business by clearing regulatory hurdles before they become roadblocks.

Your Primary Impact

• Navigate the Bureaucracy: You are the lead fixer for agency approvals. You'll manage relationships and filings with the heavy hitters: TNB, BOMBA, IWK, MIDA, JWS, DOE/SPAN, and Local Councils.
• Anticipate Change: You don't just read the Federal Gazette; you interpret it. You'll scout legislative and policy shifts, providing leadership with "so-what" insights and strategic maneuvers.
• Secure Permissions: Take full ownership of submissions and compliance. If a permit is stuck, you find out why and get it moving.
• Draft with Precision: Create high-stakes position papers, briefing notes, and official correspondence in both English and Bahasa Malaysia that get results.
• Crisis & Reputation Management: Act as the first responder for government-related issues, mitigating risks to our reputation or operations with cool-headed diplomacy.

The Problem-Solver's Toolkit

• Experience: 1–5 years in Government/Regulatory Affairs. If you've worked in tech, energy, or infrastructure, you're already ahead.
• The Network: You ideally have an existing "Rolodex" of contacts within Malaysian federal or state agencies (especially in Johor or Selangor).
• Linguistic Agility: Fluency in English and Bahasa Malaysia is a must. Proficiency in Mandarin is a major plus for our regional stakeholders.
• Technical Literacy: You can sit in a room with engineers and then translate their needs into a proposal that a government official will approve.
• Grit: You are resilient, independent, and thrive when given a complex problem to solve under tight deadlines.

Why You?

• You take initiative rather than waiting for a checklist.
• You see a "No" from an agency as a starting point for negotiation.
• You understand that in the data center world, uptime is everything—and that starts with the right permits and the right relationships.
