Role Overview:

The Head of Human Resources, Philippines is the most senior HR leader in the country. This is a role for someone who builds things, who can assess what exists, define what is needed, establish the right team and structures, and elevate HR into a function that the business genuinely relies on.

The incumbent will own the people agenda for the Philippines Center end-to-end: from the moment a person joins through every stage of their career, until the day they leave.

• Experience managing internationally mobile employees or expatriate populations, either in-house or in close partnership with external counsel.
• Comfortable operating at both the strategic and governance level and also know exactly where the compliance gaps are.
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, Psychology, Business Administration, or related field.
• Preferably has a Master's degree in HR, Industrial Relations, or Business Administration (MBA).
