At Thousands of Years Media Sdn. Bhd. (ToYm), we are looking for proven business leaders who are ready to take ownership of a team, drive commercial results and build a business unit capable of growing at scale.
As ToYm expands, we are building multiple business teams, each led by an Acting General Manager with responsibility for its people, revenue, execution and overall performance.
This is not a coordination or administrative management role.
You will be expected to:
You will operate like the leader of a business within the larger ToYm organisation.
Many management positions give you responsibility for one department.
This role gives you responsibility for results across an entire team.
You will work across functions such as:
Your responsibility is not simply to make sure everyone is busy. Your responsibility is to make sure the team produces results.
You will have the opportunity to build your team, develop its capabilities and demonstrate that you can successfully lead a growing business operation.
Take overall responsibility for your team’s performance. You will be accountable for:
Know where your team stands, what is working, what is not working and what needs to happen next.
You do not need to personally close every deal, but you must be capable of helping the team create, progress and win business.
Your success is not measured only by what you can personally achieve. It is also measured by what your team can achieve under your leadership.
Management may establish the direction. Your responsibility is to make it happen.
Do not allow plans to remain as presentations, meetings or discussions. Turn them into results.
A strong business cannot operate in silos.
You will be expected to take ownership when problems arise, including:
Understand the problem, identify the root cause, make a decision and drive the solution. Escalate when necessary – but do not make escalation your default solution.
Create a team that operates with visibility and accountability. Ensure there is clear tracking of:
Reports should not exist merely for reporting purposes. Use information to identify problems, make decisions and drive action.
A strong Acting General Manager should eventually be able to build more managers, stronger teams and greater business capacity.
We care more about what you have successfully built, led and achieved than how many years you have worked or what title appears on your CV.
You should be able to demonstrate situations where you personally played a major leadership role in achieving meaningful business results. This may include:
We want to understand:
You understand how a business makes money. You should be comfortable discussing:
You do not need to come from a pure sales background, but you must be commercially capable and comfortable taking responsibility for business results.
You have demonstrated that you can:
We are not looking for someone who simply manages tasks. We are looking for someone who can build people who produce results.
You know how to move from Direction -> Plan -> Action -> Follow-Up -> Result.
You are comfortable operating in an environment where priorities can move quickly and leaders are expected to take ownership rather than wait for instructions.
There is no strict minimum number of years and no strict degree requirement.
What matters more is:
We look for people whose behaviours align with ToYm’s core values:
We do not only ask whether you agree with these values. We look at how you have demonstrated them through your past actions, decisions and results.
The greater the business value and leadership capacity you build, the greater the opportunity for your role to grow with ToYm.
You do not want to manage only one function.
You want to:
You are comfortable being accountable not only when things go well, but also when they do not.
You want the opportunity to prove that you can take a team, build its capabilities and turn company direction into measurable business results.
Come build and lead a winning business team with ToYm.
