HR Manager (3-Month Project)

HR Manager
3-Month Project | Potential to Extend
International School | Singapore

We're looking for a hands-on HR Manager to support a fast-growing international school during an exciting build and scale phase. This is a project role with the potential to extend, ideal for someone who enjoys setting foundations, bringing clarity to complexity, and partnering closely with leadership in a start up environment with solid international backing.

The Role
You'll own day-to-day HR operations while helping to strengthen people processes across the school. This is a practical, roll-up-your-sleeves role where execution matters as much as judgment.

Key responsibilities include

• End-to-end HR operations including contracts, onboarding, offboarding, and employee records
• Advisory support to school leadership on HR policies, people matters, and employee relations
• Performance management and probation processes
• HR compliance aligned with Singapore regulations
• Supporting recruitment processes and workforce planning where needed
• Reviewing and refining HR policies and processes to support scale and consistency

What We're Looking For

• Solid experience in HR management, ideally in education, start ups, or fast-growing organisations
• Strong working knowledge of Singapore HR practices and employment regulations
• Comfortable operating independently with minimal hand-holding
• Calm, thoughtful, and people-centric with strong stakeholder management skills
• Able to balance structure with flexibility in a dynamic environment

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to be part of a cutting-edge school that is redefining what learning looks like.

Backed by a globally respected international institution, the school brings world-class education to Singapore through an exclusive partnership with a top-tier K-12 school in New York, internationally recognised for academic excellence.

Students benefit from pioneering programmes, experiential learning, and multidisciplinary teaching approaches. Grounded in the science of learning, the curriculum is designed to foster academic excellence, character development, and emotional well-being.

For HR, this means

• A leadership team that values people, culture, and long-term foundations
• The chance to shape HR practices at a formative stage
• Exposure to international education standards and best practices
• A meaningful project with potential continuity beyond the initial term

If you enjoy building, partnering, and making an impact in a purpose-driven environment, this role will speak to you.
