About the Role

Singapore is the global hub for LY Group's international operations. This is a newly structured Talent Acquisition Team Lead role owning senior and specialist hiring across the group's entities. You will lead a small TA team while remaining hands-on across executive and hard-to-fill searches, partnering directly with business heads across multiple functions and geographies.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and develop a team of recruiters, setting priorities, standards and delivery cadence across a multi-country requisition load.
Own end-to-end recruitment for senior, executive and specialist roles across functions — HR, Finance, IT, Sales, Supply Chain, Procurement and Engineering.
Manage hiring across international markets (e.g. US, Europe, India, SEA), adapting sourcing strategy to each market's talent landscape.
Partner with senior business stakeholders and hiring managers to scope roles, advise on market realities and drive decisions.
Build and mature the TA function — process, sourcing channels, pipeline management, employer branding and candidate experience.
Own and report TA metrics: time-to-fill, quality of hire, pipeline health and cost-per-hire.
Oversee agency/vendor relationships where used, and drive direct-sourcing capability to reduce reliance on them.

Requirements

Proven TA experience across both commercial and technical/engineering hiring, ideally at regional or international scope.
Prior team lead or people-management experience.
Strong track record on senior and hard-to-fill roles, with confident direct-sourcing capability (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean, market mapping).
Ability to operate across time zones and multiple markets simultaneously.
Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability manufacturing/electronics environment.

Preferred

Background in EMS, electronics, semiconductor or precision manufacturing — or transferable experience from another high-volume, technically complex sector.
Exposure to executive search or agency delivery alongside in-house work.
