Indonesia is one of our busiest markets, and our work there has grown strongly since 2023. Most of it is for manufacturing, pulp, paper and fibre, plantations and agribusiness, energy, and medical device companies, from Indonesian groups to multinationals with large plants in the country.
The roles are mostly finance, HR and operations leadership: finance directors and controllers, HR heads, plant, operations and engineering leaders, quality and regulatory heads, and chief executives and country heads.
Many of these roles need a leader who can run a local team in Bahasa Indonesia and report to a regional or group head office. Where a role needs the language, we say so. We search across Indonesia and among leaders elsewhere in the region with experience of the Indonesian market.

Which sectors does Maxima cover in Indonesia?
Mainly manufacturing, pulp, paper and fibre, plantations and agribusiness, energy and lubricants, and medical devices.
