Job description

We're representing a regional high-technology company scaling past 600 people in the region, where leadership has outgrown "HR support" and wants a true business partner, someone whose read on the organisation changes decisions, not just documents them. This is for the HR professional who's been quietly running the function's hardest conversations for years and is ready for the seat where that judgment is finally named, funded, and heard.

What You'd Own

• Partner two business units (≈100 people) as their single people voice, org design, talent calls, the works
• Drive workforce and succession planning: who's ready, who's stuck, who's a flight risk, with a point of view
• Turn people data into decisions the leadership team acts on, attrition, engagement, pay-review discipline
• Handle senior ER matters personally, with judgment, discretion, and full command of Singapore employment law
• Coach managers to lead properly and push back on leaders when the plan is wrong, with the alternative ready
• Partner Talent Acquisition and L&D so hiring, development and org design pull in one direction

What You'll Bring

• 6–10 years in HR with at least 3 as a genuine business partner to senior stakeholders
• Depth in the Singapore employment framework — MOM requirements, fair employment practice, workforce regulations
• Data confidence: you build the argument in numbers before you make it in the room
• Experience in scaling or matrixed environments where influence beats authority
• Evidence of changing a leadership decision — not just implementing one

You’ll Thrive Here If

• You see what's wrong with the org chart before anyone asks — and you're tired of not being asked
• You'd rather be accountable for outcomes than admired for process
• You want leaders who treat you as the strategist you already are
