Your new company

Your new company is a prominent educational institution in Asia, recognised for its commitment to academic excellence and progressive learning environments. With a bold vision for growth and transformation, the organisation is seeking an HR Director to lead its people strategy through a period of significant change. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact role, guide the CEO and leadership team, and shape the future of HR across a newly unified organisation.

Your new role

As the HR Director, you will lead the full spectrum of HR functions, including Compensation & Benefits, Learning & Development, HRIS Management, Talent Acquisition, Compliance & Regulatory, Employer Branding, Employee Engagement, and general administration. You will play a pivotal role in driving integration, standardisation, and process improvement. This includes managing regulatory audits, implementing best practices, and leading cultural alignment across the organisation. The role demands a strategic thinker who is also hands-on, ready to partner closely with the CEO and senior stakeholders.

What you'll need to succeed

To thrive in this role, you should have:

• At least 5 years in a senior HR leadership position, ideally as Head of HR or HR Director

• Proven success in leading change management, integration, and cultural transformation

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence and guide executive stakeholders

• Hands-on experience across all HR pillars, with a track record in Compensation & Benefits, especially in harmonising C&B structures across different entities.

• Experience in the education sector is preferred, but candidates from similarly structured industries with strong leadership credentials will be considered.

• Comfort working in a dynamic, evolving environment – this role is not for someone seeking stability.
  
  

What you'll get in return

You’ll be offered a competitive remuneration package and the chance to lead a transformative journey in a purpose-driven organisation. This is a high-visibility role where your leadership will directly shape the future of a newly integrated education group. You’ll work alongside passionate professionals in a culture that values agility, innovation, and impact.
