Chief People Officer - BW Digital

BW Digital are looking to appoint a Chief People Officer to join its Executive Leadership Team and help shape its next phase of international growth.

Part of BW Group, the global energy and maritime group, BW Digital develops, builds and operates data centres and connectivity infrastructure across Asia-Pacific and beyond. With around 100 employees today and plans to double headcount over the next 12 months, the business is at a pivotal stage. It combines entrepreneurial ambition with the backing of a substantial international group.

Reporting to the CEO, the CPO will build on established HR foundations to shape the organisation, leadership and talent needed for this expansion. This is an opportunity to contribute to the wider business agenda, bringing commercial judgement, constructive challenge and a clear perspective on how people enable growth.

The priorities

• Build leadership capability and succession plans
• Develop a proactive talent acquisition strategy in a highly competitive market
• Shape an organisation that can scale across countries as new assets come into operation
• Strengthen onboarding and cultural integration, connecting an increasingly international workforce

The person

• We're looking for a commercially minded People leader who has helped an organisation navigate rapid growth, international expansion or significant business evolution.
• You will bring experience across multiple countries and cultures, ideally including Asia-Pacific, and a background in digital infrastructure or an adjacent technology, engineering or capital-intensive business.
• Just as important is your approach: comfortable with ambiguity, confident challenging senior colleagues, humble and low ego, and willing to get hands-on to turn strategy into action.
