Human Resource Business Partner

The Role

As HR Business Partner (Commercial) at SEEK, you'll partner with leaders across Malaysia and Singapore to build people strategies that enable growth, high performance and strong engagement.

Reporting to the Head of HR Business Partnering, Commercial (APAC), you'll provide coaching and guidance across the full employee lifecycle, ensuring people practices are commercially minded, compliant and aligned to SEEK's culture and values. You will be part of the APAC HRBP team within People & Culture, working cross-functionally with HR Advisors, D&I specialists and our Centres of Excellence in an agile, project-based way with no direct reports initially.

You will translate business priorities into clear, practical people plans that make a real difference — from workforce planning and organisational design through to employee relations and cyclical P&C processes. Success in this role means being a trusted partner to leaders, driving data-informed decisions and championing an inclusive, high-performing culture across your markets.

  • Coach and advise people leaders on performance, development, team effectiveness and change
  • Lead workforce planning, role design and organisational design activities for your client groups

  • Deliver P&C cyclical processes including performance reviews, remuneration reviews and engagement surveys
  • Use people data and insights to identify risks and opportunities, and recommend clear actions to leaders
  • Champion SEEK's culture, values and EVP, and contribute to APAC-wide People & Culture projects
  • Significant HR generalist or HRBP experience in Malaysia and/or Singapore, with a strong advisory track record
  • Solid knowledge of Malaysian and Singapore employment legislation applied in real case work
  • Demonstrated experience coaching and influencing leaders on performance, change and complex people matters
  • Proven end-to-end employee relations case management experience (performance, investigations, disciplinary, grievance)
  • Experience supporting P&C cyclical processes such as performance and remuneration reviews
  • Exposure to people data and analytics tools to generate insights and recommendations for leaders
