This Regional HR & Admin Manager (SEA) role is a newly restructured headcount designed for a true operational leader who can balance strategic weight with an absolute willingness to get hands-on. Based fully on-site at our client's corporate office in Bukit Bintang, KL, the successful candidate will take on a regional remit overseeing a core team of 160 headcount in Malaysia, alongside operational and compliance advisory for regional branches in India, Bangkok, Indonesia, and Vietnam (averaging 20–30 pax per location). ... This is the furthest thing from a pure "desk‑manager" or advisory role—the hiring team recently rejected a finalist for being "too strategic". They need a fast-paced, execution-focused "Player-Coach" who can comfortably handle day-to-day payroll governance, dive into employee relations (ER/IR) investigations across multiple jurisdictions, manage office facilities/vendors, and master their Info-Tech HRIS system from day one.
