Singapore Maximum ManagementFrazer Jones USA Full time

Frazer Jones is delighted to be exclusively retained for a confidential search to appoint a Global Head of HR for a fast-growing, innovation-led company headquartered in Singapore. This is a newly created leadership role, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, and will be instrumental in designing and building a global HR function from the ground up.

As a core member of the executive leadership team, the Global Head of HR will lead the development and execution of the company's people strategy across multiple markets. The role will focus on building foundational HR infrastructure, designing scalable and fit-for-purpose people processes, and enabling business growth through culture, capability and organisational development. A key part of the mandate includes the implementation of a global HRIS platform, ensuring the integration of efficient systems and data-led decision-making across the organisation. This role will also oversee the full spectrum of HR including talent acquisition, performance management, employee engagement, rewards, and operational excellence, while ensuring alignment with the company's commercial objectives.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on and entrepreneurial HR leader with deep experience building HR from 0 to 1 in fast-paced environments. Prior experience working in SMEs or founder-led businesses is essential, with a strong appreciation for the pace, ambiguity and resourcefulness required in such settings. A proven track record in implementing global HRIS platforms and leading HR operational excellence is also critical. The successful candidate must be able to operate with a strategic mindset while driving execution at speed, and bring the confidence to influence and partner closely with C-suite stakeholders. Must have prior HR experience working in Singapore and a strong understanding of Singapore's employment legislation and manpower regulations.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to shape the global people agenda of a visionary organisation at a pivotal stage of its growth journey. The company offers a high-impact, fast-paced environment with strong leadership and an opportunity to create lasting value.

Total compensation package for this role will be up to SGD 220,000 per annum, plus participation in the company's employee stock ownership plan (ESOPs).

The role is based in Singapore and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
