We specialize in building strong, long-term partnerships between skilled professionals and innovative companies. Our mission is to empower growth, innovation, and excellence by matching the right talent with the right opportunities.

We are currently hiring a Director of People & Culture who will lead a full organizational transformation — shaping the people strategy, culture, and leadership capabilities required for sustainable growth and modernization. This leader will foster a performance-driven, connected, and youthful culture across all levels, from frontline teams to senior management, while ensuring the People & Culture function delivers consistent, efficient, and measurable business impact.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Leadership & Culture

  • Strengthen the employer brand and position the organization as a modern, growth-driven workplace.
  • Enhance manpower planning, succession planning, and talent readiness in support of expansion and operational excellence.
  • 3. Performance & Development

  • Implement a structured performance management framework linked to business KPIs and OKRs.
  • Launch learning, leadership, and coaching programs that build internal capability and future-ready talent pipelines.
  • Introduce recognition and reward mechanisms that reinforce accountability, performance, and company values.
  • 4. People Operations & Team Capability

  • Oversee Compensation & Benefits, Payroll, and Personnel with an emphasis on compliance, fairness, and operational efficiency.
  • Continuously evaluate and develop the People & Culture team — including hiring and performance management — to maintain a high-performing function.
  • Ensure HR systems and processes are scalable, transparent, and data-driven to support rapid growth.
  • Requirements

    Experience

  • 10–15 years of progressive HR experience, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
  • Proven success leading the HR function in organizations of 800+ employees, including major blue / grey-collar populations.
  • Demonstrated achievements in culture transformation, leadership development, and deployment of modern HR systems.
  • Experience in multi-site, operationally intensive environments (retail, FMCG, logistics, manufacturing, etc.).
  • Competencies

  • Strategic thinker with strong business acumen and the ability to link people strategy to performance outcomes.
  • Skilled in driving culture, communication, and leadership alignment across diverse workforce segments.
  • Empathetic yet decisive; capable of making and standing behind tough people decisions.
  • Exceptional communicator and influencer with strong storytelling capability.
  • Hands-on leader able to balance long-term strategy with daily operational rigor.
  • Education
