Job description

We are looking for a hands-on and strategic HR Manager to lead and strengthen our HR function as the company continues to grow. This is not purely an HR administrative role. We are looking for someone who can work closely with management, understand business needs, develop people strategies, improve HR systems and policies, and build a strong and productive organisation.

The successful candidate should be comfortable working at both strategic and operational levels - able to develop HR plans and frameworks while also taking ownership of implementation.

• HR Policies, Systems & Processes - Develop, review and improve HR policies, SOPs, systems and processes to support business growth and comply with Malaysian employment laws.
• Organisation & Workforce Planning - Review organisation structure, manpower requirements, job roles and reporting lines to ensure the right people are in the right positions.
• Talent Acquisition & Retention - Lead recruitment, onboarding, talent development and retention strategies to build a strong workforce.
• Performance Management - Develop and improve KPI, appraisal and performance management systems that encourage accountability and continuous improvement.
• Learning & Talent Development - Identify training needs, develop employee capabilities and support career and succession planning.
• Compensation & Benefits - Review salary structures, benefits and HR practices to ensure they remain practical, competitive and aligned with business needs.
• Employee Relations & Compliance - Advise management on employee matters, disciplinary issues and workplace practices while ensuring compliance with Malaysian employment legislation.
• HR Analytics & Management Reporting - Use HR data such as turnover, absenteeism, recruitment and performance trends to provide management with meaningful insights and recommendations.
• HR Digitalisation & Continuous Improvement - Identify opportunities to simplify, automate and improve HR processes and systems.
• HR Team Leadership - Lead and develop the HR team and build a professional, responsive and service-oriented HR function.

What We Are Looking For

• · Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Management or a related field.
• · At least 5 years of relevant HR experience; experience in a growing SME or organisation undergoing expansion is preferred.
• · Strong hands-on experience in developing, reviewing and implementing HR policies, procedures and systems.
• · Good knowledge of Malaysian employment laws and statutory requirements.
• · Experience in organisational development, workforce planning, performance management and the full employee lifecycle.
• · Strong communication, interpersonal and stakeholder-management skills.
• · Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
• · Ability to work independently, take ownership and translate business requirements into practical HR solutions.
• · Proactive, commercially minded and solution-oriented, with the confidence to work directly with senior management and department heads.

Key Advantage

Candidates with experience in setting up or restructuring HR policies, systems and processes during a company's growth or expansion phase will be highly regarded. Experience in organisation restructuring, job grading, compensation structures, manpower planning, performance management systems or HR digitalisation will be an added advantage.

Why Join Us?
