About the role

  • Seeking a Senior HR Manager with a growth mindset to drive our scalability strategy.
  • You will oversee the critical balance between rigorous compliance and agile team readiness, ensuring our internal culture remains a competitive advantage as we expand.
  • Design a scalable HR infrastructure that supports rapid headcount growth without compromising quality or operational speed.
  • Identify "high-potential" internal employees and build clear career pathways to ensure leadership continuity as the company grows.
  • Use predictive modeling to align internal hiring with the sales pipeline, ensuring the support team is staffed ahead of demand curves.
  • Establish a culture-led recognition framework that celebrates both performance "wins" and values-aligned behaviors, reinforcing the company’s identity as a premium employer.
  • Lead an annual salary calibration exercise against 2026 Philippine market data (P75/P90 targets) to maintain structured, defensible pay bands for all internal roles.
  • Serve as the final gatekeeper for salary offers to ensure budget compliance, while providing the tactical leeway required to onboard uniquely qualified candidates who are essential to our long-term growth.
  • Lead the continuous refinement of the new HRIS and Payroll platform, ensuring all automated workflows (onboarding, leave, pay cycles) are tuned for maximum speed and zero manual workarounds.
  • Map and refine the end-to-end employee lifecycle—from the "first touch" in recruitment to the final exit interview—to maximize efficiency.
  • Direct and develop the HR and administrative staff, fostering a culture of Radical Accountability and technical proficiency.
  • Ensure 100% compliance with the Labor Code of the Philippines and DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment) integrated rules.
  • Maintain zero exposure to potential labor disputes or other legal incidents by ensuring that any employee termination or employee relations issue is properly managed and compliant.
  • Establish a proactive compliance culture that ensures the organization always remains ‘inspection-ready’. This includes maintaining flawless, up-to-date 201 files, payroll registers, and OSH logs for immediate presentation during unannounced DOLE, SSS, or PhilHealth audits.
  • Ensure core values are reflected in hiring, performance reviews, and daily operations.
  • Enhance the company’s EVP (Employee Value Proposition) to attract top talent in a highly competitive staffing market.
  • Design data-backed and sustainable engagement that reduces burnout and celebrates high-performance milestones.
  • Manage the physical office environment and virtual collaboration tools, ensuring they remain conducive to high-energy staffing operations.
  • Oversee relationships with key service providers (landlords & insurance brokers) to ensure cost-effectiveness and service quality.
  • Develop and maintain business continuity plans, including emergency responses and secure data management protocols for sensitive candidate info.

Requirements

  • Professional Experience: Tenure: At least 8–10 years of progressive HR experience, with a minimum of 3–5 years in a leadership or Senior Management capacity.
  • Industry Background: Proven track record within the Staffing, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), or BPO industries. You must understand the urgency of a sales-driven environment.
  • Systems Mastery: Advanced experience in HRIS and Payroll system adoption. You should have led at least one initiative where the system adoption rate increased.
  • Legal and Regulatory Expertise: Philippine Labor Authority: Deep, demonstrable knowledge of the Labor Code of the Philippines, including 2026 updates on the Telecommuting Act and OSHS standards.
  • Audit & Compliance: Experience acting as the lead representative for DOLE Routine Inspections and managing SENA or NLRC proceedings with a focus on risk mitigation.
  • Australian Exposure (Highly Desirable): Familiarity with the Australian Fair Work Act and Modern Awards is a significant advantage, as you will bridge the gap between AU clients and PH operations.
  • Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources, Psychology, Business Administration, or Law.
  • Post-Graduate/Certifications: CHRP (Certified HR Professional) or equivalent. Post-graduate studies in Labor Relations or a Master’s in Strategic HR are preferred. Certification in Data Privacy (DPO) under the NPC (National Privacy Commission).
  • Technical & Strategic Skills: Compensation & Benefits Design: Advanced skills in Salary Benchmarking and the ability to design commission-based incentive structures that drive revenue. Data Literacy: Ability to translate raw HR data into C-suite-ready reports (Retention rates, TCOE, and ROI on engagement spend). Workplace Design: Experience in Change Management, specifically regarding office transitions and implementing "Magnet Office" strategies to increase on-site foot traffic.
