Social media giant Facebook is looking for a new Australian boss following the promotion of local managing director Will Easton to the role of head of emerging markets for Asia Pacific.

Facebook announced the promotion this morning with Easton, who has led the Australian operation since January 2013, to be based in Singapore from mid-August.

“The emerging markets across Asia Pacific are arguably one of Facebook’s biggest opportunities in relation to delivering against our company mission of connecting the world. Will has done a fantastic job building our Australian and New Zealand business and will bring a huge amount of experience and value in his new role as head of emerging markets”, said Dan Neary Facebook’s APAC vice president in a statement.
