Drive Change. Inspire Growth. Lead Boldly.

We’re looking for a high-energy, innovative leader to take charge of our Agency operations across Singapore and South East Asia. In this role, working for one of the world’s leading staffing and total talent solutions firms, you’ll shape strategy, disrupt the status quo, and lead talented teams toward ambitious growth.

This role is for a leader who thrives on action, ideas, and impact—someone who’s not afraid to challenge convention, take smart risks, and deliver bold results.

What You'll Do:

Lead with Vision and Energy

• Set and drive the strategic direction, turning ideas into action and opportunity into growth
• Break down silos, energise teams, and inspire a culture of innovation, responsive service, and accountability
• Take bold steps to unlock market potential—whether through new business opportunities, tech-led solutions, or untapped verticals

Empower People and Build Momentum

• Build and lead high-performing, empowered teams across diverse markets
• Inspire through authenticity, action, and a deep commitment to people development
• Cultivate a culture where curiosity, learning, and experimentation are encouraged—and success is shared
• Mentor senior leaders and rising talent to elevate leadership capability and regional performance

Deliver Results with Impact

• Drive strong commercial outcomes across permanent, contract, and workforce solutions
• Create meaningful, strategic relationships with enterprise clients, industry partners, and internal stakeholders
• Ensure operational excellence, brand consistency, and a customer-obsessed approach in everything we do

Who You Are:

• A bold, modern leader with senior experience in the recruitment, staffing, or total talent solutions space
• A growth driver with a bias for action, who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Someone who sees change as opportunity, and energises others to push boundaries and try new things
• Known for building inclusive, high-performance cultures where thinking differently and beyond the status quo is embraced
• Commercially sharp, creatively minded, and ready to make your mark on a high-potential region

Why you’ll love working for Hudson RPO:

• Work with some of the world’s leading and most recognised brands
• Receive four ‘Thrive’ days of leave per year to support your health and wellbeing (on top of your annual leave!)
• Flexibility is at the core of who we are, and flexible work arrangements are encouraged
• Quarterly and annual recognition programs to celebrate our employee’s success
• We’re a passionate team of people who are shaping the future of talent!
