As the HR Business leader for your region and assigned business unit, you will be involved in business reviews and influencing human capital related decisions.  You will also be wearing multiple hats, from that of a culture champion, a talent developer, and change manager to being a trusted advisor. Operating within a lean team and matrixed organization, it presents the right incumbent with exposure to the Senior leadership team.  What makes this role attractive is the ability to be part of a dynamic, high growth organization that values strong work ethics, integrity, humility, teamwork and meritocracy. 
This role will be based out of our Tokyo office.

Operating with a lean team of members across Australia, Japan, Singapore and India (our major APJ hubs), we seek to provide robust HR advisory and guidance to our regional and functional employees and managers. As a team, we thrive on strong collaboration, knowledge sharing, and having fun together.

  • Strong business acumen, with demonstrated track record in employee engagement, performance management, talent development, and change management. 
  • Self-starter with a mature disposition and excellent interpersonal and influencing skills to effectively navigate through complex issues and varying stakeholders’ needs.  A strong bias for action and being capable of planning, prioritizing and resolving issues and/or conflicts is important. 
  • Strong team player who can effectively build trust and rapport with peers, and offer them support or coaching when required. 
  • English proficiency in business communications.
