Senior Manager Talent Acquisition

Our client is one of Singapore's leading technology companies, with a substantial footprint spanning SEA. In the midst of an ambitious digital transformation and insourcing agenda, they are investing heavily in building internal tech capability - and that starts with getting talent acquisition right.

The Role

This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for the end-to-end talent acquisition strategy and execution for tech hiring across two markets. You'll lead a dedicated TA team, report into senior HR leadership, and be the architect of a hiring engine that delivers at scale - reducing agency dependency, strengthening employer brand, and ensuring the organisation wins in a competitive tech talent market.

Key Responsibilities

1. Talent Acquisition Strategy & Execution

• Own and lead the full-cycle TA strategy for tech hiring across Singapore and Malaysia
• Develop a scalable hiring model capable of delivering 150+ hires per year across software engineering, data, infrastructure, cybersecurity, product, and adjacent disciplines
• Ensure hiring outcomes are timely, high-quality, and tightly aligned to workforce planning and insourcing priorities
• Maintain and report on key TA metrics - time-to-fill, source mix, quality of hire, and offer acceptance rate

2. Team Leadership & Capability Building

• Provide functional leadership, coaching, and quality oversight to a tech TA team of three
• Set the standard for sourcing, screening, candidate experience, and stakeholder management
• Build team capability across direct sourcing, market mapping, and structured hiring practices

3. Direct Sourcing & Agency Reduction

• Systematically build and scale direct sourcing channels - LinkedIn, professional communities, employee referrals, and industry events
• Develop proactive talent pipelines for critical and recurring tech roles to reduce reactive agency reliance
• Track and demonstrate measurable improvement in source mix over time

4. Employer Brand Activation

• Refine and activate the organisation's employer brand positioning in the tech talent market
• Drive content strategy, talent community engagement, and a visible presence at key industry and tech events
• Ensure the candidate experience reflects and reinforces the employer brand at every touchpoint

5. Stakeholder Management & Operations

• Partner closely with hiring managers and HR Business Partners to define role requirements, calibrate expectations, and align on hiring plans
• Manage end-to-end recruitment operations across Singapore and Malaysia, ensuring process consistency, candidate experience quality, and regulatory compliance
• Continuously improve recruitment workflows, tooling, and reporting infrastructure

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 8+ years of talent acquisition experience, with a strong emphasis on tech hiring at volume
• Proven track record leading or functionally guiding a TA team across multi-market, high-volume hiring environments
• Demonstrated success in reducing agency dependency and scaling sustainable direct sourcing capability
• Experience developing and activating employer brand strategy in competitive tech talent markets
• Strong stakeholder management skills - comfortable partnering with senior hiring managers and HR leadership alike
• Exposure to both Singapore and Malaysia hiring contexts, or comparable multi-market scope
• Familiarity with SuccessFactors (ATS), LinkedIn Recruiter, and recruitment analytics tooling
• Background in telco, technology, or large enterprise environments is a genuine advantage
• Strong candidates making the move from agency to in-house are welcome to apply

If you're a talent acquisition leader who's ready to build something that lasts - a hiring engine, a brand, a team - this is the role that gives you the mandate, the scope, and the platform to do it.
