The Right Profile
We are seeking an enthusiastic and capable Associate HR Business Partner to join our People & Culture team. However, this is not a typical desk-bound HR role.

You will move seamlessly between strategic HR topics and hands-on office operations to ensure the business has everything it needs to succeed.

The position reports directly to the Head of HR in Singapore, so you can expect a challenging but rewarding journey.
