Key Responsibilities:

• Support compensation benchmarking to ensure competitive offers in a tight tech talent market
• Foster company culture and employee engagement as the team scales from startup to growth stage
• Advise leadership on HR best practices, workforce planning, and organizational design
• Handle employee relations matters with discretion and professionalism

Requirements:

• Minimum 4–6 years of HR generalist experience
• Startup or fast-paced tech environment experience highly advantageous
• Solid understanding of Singapore employment law, CPF, and work pass regulations
• Comfortable working autonomously with minimal structure/support — this is a build-from-scratch role

• Degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or related field
• Familiarity with HR systems/ATS tools (e.g., BambooHR, Workday, or similar) an advantage
