HR & Admin Manager

Location: Singapore

Your Role

As the first HR & Admin hire in Singapore, you will be the operational backbone of the entity. You will not only run core HR processes but also deeply understand our business context – so that your talent acquisition, compliance, and employee engagement strategies directly support the unique needs of a datacenter operator.

• Talent Acquisition – Lead endtoend recruitment, with a strong focus on campus hiring and sourcing technical/local talent for our AIDC operations (facility engineers, project managers, network specialists, etc.).
• HR Operations – Manage payroll, CPF, tax filings, leave, and employee lifecycle (on/offboarding) with full MOM / PDPA compliance.
• Compliance & Government Liaison – Handle statutory filings and act as the primary contact with MOM, IRAS, ACRA; ensure all HR policies adhere to local labour laws.
• Culture & Policy – Build a positive startup culture; draft and implement employee handbooks, HR policies, and admin procedures as we scale.
• Office & Vendor Management – Oversee office leases, facilities, and vendor relationships; manage administrative budget efficiently.

Your Profile (Must-Haves)

• IDC/AIDC Industry Experience (Must-Have)– At least 2–3 years of solid HR & Admin experience specifically within IDC/AIDC sectors. You don't need to be an engineer, but you must understand what our business does and the type of talent we need.
• Bilingual (Mandatory) – Fluent English and fluent Mandarin Chinese, both at professional working level. You will interface daily with our Mandarinspeaking global HQ and Englishspeaking regional teams – drafting policies, communicating with authorities, and negotiating with vendors in both languages.
• Execution Mindset – Proven ability to operate independently in a fastpaced, 0to1 environment, wearing multiple hats and driving initiatives from scratch.
• Citizenship – Singapore Citizen (due to regulatory and licensing obligations).
• Education – Diploma or degree in HR, Business, or related field.

Not a Fit If You Are:

• A pure administrative / backoffice HR professional without direct exposure to IDC/AIDC data center operations or hiring.
• Not fluent in either English or Mandarin – this role requires daily highlevel bilingual communication.
