Execution, discipline, and follow-through matter as much as big ideas. Tech & Product grew in size this year. Finance, Legal, Compliance and the CEO Office are carrying the IPO workload on top of running the company. Today one Senior HRBP covers all five, and the ceiling is visible. This role takes the working population of those five functions and owns it outright. You would report directly into our Senior HRBP in Kuala Lumpur, with no layer in between. They hold the function heads and their direct reports. You would hold everybody else — the managers and the individual contributors across five functions. Engineering runs on velocity. Finance runs on the close. Legal and Compliance run on evidence. The CEO Office runs on whatever is urgent that week. This is not a support role and it is not a coordinator role. You would carry your own cases end to end, sign your own recommendations, and own the operational spine everything else rests on — documentation, case files, trackers, and the people evidence an IPO-grade audit will ask for. If you have wanted a seat with real decision rights instead of a queue of work handed down to you, this is that seat. It comes with the other half of the deal: you will be corrected directly, you will be asked for the answer before the reasoning, and a problem brought without a recommendation attached is not how this works. **WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE** Twelve months in, managers across these five functions come to you first rather than to your manager and a case reaches him only when it genuinely needs to. Your populations have documented processes, decisions that hold up on the record, and people evidence that stands up to IPO-grade scrutiny. **How we work matters as much as what we achieve. Doing the basics right, every time, sets us up for success.**  **Most of your time will be spent driving impact through:** Business partnering - Advising line managers across Tech & Product, Finance, Legal, Compliance and the CEO Office on live employee issues, annual reviews, career conversations, performance concerns and sensitive communications. - Acting as trusted advisor and advocate through talent discussions, probation reviews, performance improvement plans and managed departures — running them yourself, from the first conversation to the final letter. - Serving as the primary People contact for managers in these functions, and resolving escalations before they become risk. - Knowing five functions well enough to be useful to each. An engineering manager and a compliance lead do not have the same problem and will not accept the same answer. Employee lifecycle ownership - Owning delivery and accountability across the full lifecycle for your populations: onboarding, confirmation, disciplinary, grievance, leave, policy enforcement, career transitions, performance management and exits. - Running the performance and calibration cycle end to end — goal setting, mid-year, calibration, moderation, and preparing managers for the conversations they would rather avoid. - Partnering with Talent Acquisition on hiring for your functions, and owning what happens after the offer: levelling, onboarding and the first ninety days. - Executing compensation within band — band placement, cycle recommendations, off-cycle cases with a written rationale, and the letters that follow. Records, reporting and IPO readiness - Holding HR documentation and case records for your functions to a standard that survives external scrutiny: files, evidence, decisions and the reasons behind them. - Owning the monthly people pack for the five functions — headcount, attrition, movement, open cases and risk — and being able to explain any number in it without going to look. - Keeping headcount honest across Workday, what Finance sees and what the function heads believe, and reconciling the three when they disagree. - Contributing the people evidence required for IPO readiness, on top of business as usual rather than instead of it. - Building the process where none exists yet. A good deal of this work is manual for now. ## Requirements **These are minimum-requirement skills and a ‘must-have’ for the role:** - You have run employee relations cases yourself, end to end. Non-confirmations, performance improvement plans, grievances, misconduct and managed exits — you wrote the file, you sat in the room, you signed the letter. Sitting in on a case your manager ran is not the same thing, and we will ask you to walk us through a specific one. - You have worked under Malaysian employment law as the accountable person. Employment Act, probation and confirmation, misconduct and domestic inquiry, notice and termination — and you can explain how you kept the individual's dignity and the company's evidentiary position intact at the same time. - You take decisions rather than route them. Anything inside band and inside policy is yours to call. You will be backed publicly on every decision made in good faith, and asked afterwards what you would do differently. - You take direct feedback well. Correction here is plain, immediate and without preamble. Written work comes back marked up, and the second version is usually the one that goes out. - You have partnered with more than one type of function. Technical populations and corporate functions are different animals, and this role carries both at once. - You are comfortable with a wide scope and a small function. There is no centre of excellence beneath you and no HR operations layer. What you own, you do. - Organised and methodical, with strong problem solving. Clear written English — this role produces letters, case files and papers that are read by group leadership and, occasionally, by lawyers. **QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE** - Minimum of 4 – 6 years Human Resources generalist or business partnering experience, or a business role providing deep insight into HR related matters. - Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Law or a related field. - Experience partnering technology, product or corporate functions in a high-growth environment is an advantage, not a requirement.
