HR Lead - South East Asia

• SEA HR Lead
• Singapore
• Manufacturing

We are delighted to be exclusively managing a confidential search to appoint a Head of Human Resources for Singapore and SEA within a global organisation. This is a pivotal senior leadership role, reporting directly to the APAC Head of HR, and will play a critical role in shaping and delivering the people agenda across markets during a period of continued growth and transformation.

As a key member of the regional HR leadership team, the SEA Head of HR will act as a trusted strategic HR Business Partner to senior business leaders, bridging business strategy and people execution. Leading a small, high-performing HR team across multiple countries, the role carries end‑to‑end accountability for the full corporate HR lifecycle, including workforce planning, organisational design, succession planning, performance management, talent development, and employee relations.

The successful candidate will bring 10–15 years of progressive HR experience, with deep expertise in HR Business Partnering within complex regional or global organisations. Prior exposure to manufacturing environments as well as commercial workforce is advantageous. A strong grounding in local labour legislation, compensation & benefits, and employee relations is essential, as is experience leading and developing small HR teams across multiple geographies. You will be commercially astute, comfortable operating both strategically and hands-on, data‑literate, and confident navigating ambiguity while influencing senior stakeholders.

This represents a rare opportunity to lead a high‑impact HR agenda, partnering closely with regional and global leadership to shape and future‑proof the organisation's people strategy across Singapore and the broader region.

Successful referrals are rewarded – if you know of an accomplished senior HR leader who may be interested in a confidential conversation, we would welcome an introduction.
