The posting

We are looking for an experienced, grounded Deputy Director, People & Culture to lead our People & Culture team in Singapore. Reporting to Senior Leadership, this role serves as an advisor to technical practice leads and oversees end-to-end People operations locally, with alignment across regional entities when needed.

A primary focus involves driving practical talent acquisition strategies: closing specialized tech roles, managing IT staff augmentation partners, building structured campus internship pipelines, and strengthening employee retention and engagement across our Singapore operations.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic HR Business Partnering & Advisory

  • Business Advisory: Work directly with senior management, engineering directors, and project managers to translate operational priorities and project timelines into clear people initiatives.
  • Workforce & Succession Planning: Track technical resource demands, assess internal skill gaps, and implement structured succession plans for key leadership and technical positions.
  • Organizational Design & Change: Guide teams through headcount growth, capability building, and structural adjustments to maintain smooth project delivery.
  • Performance & Culture: Oversee annual review cycles, goal setting, and career development pathways to encourage performance and employee retention.

Talent Acquisition, Tech Internships & Staff Augmentation

  • Technical Hiring & Sourcing: Lead recruitment delivery for mid-to-senior technical roles (cloud engineers, software developers, system architects, and team leads) and corporate functions.
  • Internship Framework & School Partnerships: Partner with local polytechnics, universities, and institutes of higher learning (IHLs) to establish structured tech internship programs. Develop end-to-end SOPs covering campus outreach, technical assessments, onboarding, mentorship frameworks, and conversion pathways to full-time junior tech roles.
  • Staff Augmentation Management: Manage external IT contractor and augmentation agencies. Establish standard vetting processes, negotiate commercial rates, enforce service level agreements (SLAs), and coordinate fast-turnaround resource deployments for client project deadlines.
  • Employer Branding & Sourcing Stack: Strengthen employer branding to attract local engineering talent, and refine recruitment tools and applicant tracking workflows to improve hiring turnaround times.

Operations, Governance & Total Rewards

  • Team Leadership: Manage and mentor the People & Culture operations team, setting clear operational workflows across the employee lifecycle.
  • Compensation & Benefits (C&B): Conduct salary benchmarking against the local technology sector, managing annual increment cycles, bonus allocations, and benefits reviews.
  • HR Analytics: Monitor key workforce metrics—such as hiring velocity, agency costs, attrition trends, and headcount utilization—to support management planning.
  • Statutory Compliance & Budget Control: Oversee personnel expenditure and agency budgets. Ensure full compliance with the Singapore Employment Act, CPF Board statutory regulations, and Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices (TGFEP).

Requirements

  • Degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration, or a relevant field (IHRP certification or Graduate Diploma in HRM is advantageous).
  • Minimum 10 to 15 years of HR / People & Culture experience, including at least 4 to 5 years in a managerial or business partnering leadership capacity.
  • Background in the technology, IT services, cloud, or digital solutions industry.
  • Demonstrated experience establishing structured campus/internship programs and managing external IT staff augmentation vendors.
  • Working knowledge of Singapore labour laws (Employment Act, CPF regulations, TGFEP, and Work Injury Compensation).
  • Clear stakeholder management skills with experience advising engineering heads and senior managers.

Work Details & Benefits

  • Flexible work arrangements in place.
  • Regular overseas travel is not generally required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
