- Support retention and engagement through insights and action planning (e.g., trend analysis, pulse results, stay/exit themes), partnering leaders to implement interventions.
- Partner with HR colleagues/COEs to implement HR programs and policy rollouts effectively; identify process gaps and recommend improvements to strengthen HR service delivery.
Talent Acquisition (Secondary)
- Partner hiring managers to define role requirements and success profiles, ensuring hiring decisions support short-term delivery needs and long-term capability building.
- Support end-to-end hiring for assigned and/or priority roles as needed: intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, selection support, offer process, and onboarding handover.
- Provide talent market and compensation insights to guide hiring strategy, manage expectations, and improve time-to-fill and quality of hire.
- Build proactive pipelines for critical roles through sourcing channels (LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, targeted outreach) and maintain a ready talent bench.
- Champion a strong candidate experience through clear communication, process rigor, and consistent stakeholder management; support employer branding initiatives in partnership with relevant teams where applicable.
Requirements
- Minimum 8 years of relevant HR experience, with strong, demonstrated HRBP capability; Talent Acquisition experience (23 years) is an advantage.
- Proven ability to partner and influence senior stakeholders, translate business priorities into people actions, and manage multiple priorities effectively.
- Solid understanding of Singapore employment legislation, employee relations practices, and HR policy application.
- Hands-on experience supporting performance management, manager coaching, and organizational or workforce planning initiatives.
