- Lead end-to-end recruitment for key roles across the business
- Collaborate with leadership to define roles clearly and hire for long-term fit
- Raise hiring standards through structured assessment and disciplined decision-making
- Build resilient teams with depth and succession planning, rather than fragile structures
- Act as a senior partner to the executive team
- Challenge decisions constructively when people matters are misaligned with company goals
- Support leaders while ensuring they retain accountability for their teams
- Oversee HR operations, including contracts, compliance, visas, and local employment matters
- Delegate operational tasks effectively while maintaining ownership of outcomes
What are you expected to bring?
- Proven experience leading the people function, in a scaling organisation
- Confident operating at senior leadership and executive levels
- Strong focus on ownership, execution, and delivering results
