Reporting directly to Management, this role will serve as a trusted HR partner in organizational development, workforce planning, employee relations, industrial relations, and HR governance. The ideal candidate is a strong and independent leader who demonstrates sound judgment, high integrity, and the ability to make objective decisions in line with company policies and Management's business objectives.

Key Responsibilities

HR Strategy & Organizational Development: Develop and implement HR strategies aligned with the company's vision, mission, business objectives, and long-term growth.

Organizational Structure & Job Design: Review and establish organizational structures, job descriptions, reporting lines, roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations to ensure clarity and accountability across departments.

Build constructive relationships while protecting the company's legitimate interests and ensuring compliance with applicable labor regulations.

Employee Relations & Conflict Resolution: Handle employee grievances, workplace conflicts, disciplinary matters, and sensitive HR issues fairly, professionally, and consistently.

Performance Management: Establish effective performance appraisal systems, KPI frameworks, employee development plans, and accountability mechanisms.

Talent Acquisition & Development: Oversee recruitment planning, succession planning, talent development, and workforce capability building.

Compensation & Benefits: Review salary structures, benefits, job grading, and compensation practices to support internal fairness and market competitiveness.

HR Administration & Systems: Oversee payroll administration, attendance, leave, and employee data management — including BPJS Kesehatan, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and PPh 21 coordination — and ensure HR records are accurately maintained and kept up to date within the company's HRIS.

Labor Law & HR Compliance: Ensure compliance with Indonesian labor laws and regulations, company policies, and applicable employment requirements — including Peraturan Perusahaan (PP) or Perjanjian Kerja Bersama (PKB), PKWT/PKWTT employment contracts, mandatory manpower reporting (WLKP), and liaison with Disnaker and other relevant authorities.

Management Advisory: Provide objective, data-driven recommendations to Management on workforce planning, organizational effectiveness, employee matters, and HR-related risks.

HR Reporting & Continuous Improvement: Monitor key HR indicators, identify organizational issues, and recommend practical improvements to enhance productivity, employee accountability, and operational effectiveness.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management, Psychology, Law, Business Administration, or a related field.

Minimum 5 years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 years in a managerial or leadership position.

Experience in industrial relations and labor union engagement, preferably within manufacturing, steel, heavy industry, or other labor-intensive environments.

Practical knowledge of Indonesian labor laws, employment regulations, disciplinary procedures, and dispute resolution.

Hands-on experience with HRIS and HR management software for payroll, attendance, leave, and employee data administration. Prior experience with Talenta (Mekari) is a distinct advantage.

Demonstrated experience in organizational design, job analysis, job description development, performance management, and HR policy implementation.

Preferred Attributes

Experience building or strengthening an HR function in an organization where HR practices need greater structure and consistency.

Experience digitalising HR processes — implementing or migrating to an HRIS, standardising employee data, and automating payroll, attendance, and leave workflows.

A balanced approach to employee relations: firm on principles, fair in handling people, and practical in resolving issues.

Ability to maintain professional independence, handle sensitive matters discreetly, and make decisions based on facts, company policies, applicable regulations, and business priorities.

Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to provide candid and objective advice to Management.
