Senior Human Resources Manager

About the Client Our client is a fast-growing technology firm making aggressive inroads into the AI space. Backed by strong commercial momentum and scaling rapidly, the company is building AI products and embedding AI into how it operates.

The culture is fast-moving, engineering-led, and unusually ambitious — and the people function needs to match it. They are seeking a seasoned, commercially minded Senior HR Manager to lead HR in Singapore, scale the organization through its next growth phase, and shape how AI is adopted across the business.

Role Overview

Acting as a trusted advisor to founders and functional leaders, the Senior HR Manager leads a team of two — an HR Assistant Manager and an HR Executive — and owns the full people agenda: strategic partnering, talent attraction, organizational design, and HR operations.

In a company doubling in size and building AI products, this role carries a clear second mandate: identify, build, and embed AI capabilities across the organization, starting within HR and extending to the wider workforce.

The ideal candidate blends strategic advisory capability with hands-on operational rigor, people-leadership experience, and genuine fluency in how AI changes the way work gets done — someone credible with engineers and founders alike.

Key Responsibilities

- Strategic Business Partnering: Partner closely with founders, engineering, product, and commercial leaders to diagnose organizational needs, design targeted talent strategies, and support aggressive growth plans.

- Scaling & Workforce Planning: Own headcount planning and organizational design through rapid growth — building structures, levelling frameworks, and career paths that hold up as teams double, without importing bureaucracy the business doesn't need yet.

- Tech Talent Attraction & Retention: Work with hiring managers to win AI, engineering, and product talent in one of the most competitive markets in the region — sharpening employer brand, hiring bars, interview proces
