This role is pivotal in driving operational excellence, governance, compliance, and global consistency across highly diverse APAC markets, while allowing for appropriate local flexibility. You will build and scale the systems, processes, and operating models that allow TA teams to perform effectively as the business continues to expand and evolve across the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead operational excellence across TA systems, processes, governance, and compliance frameworks for the APAC region.

• Country Build, Expansion & TA Maturation Partner with regional and country TA leaders to stand up TA teams, operating models, and capabilities in new and evolving APAC markets.

• Build scalable infrastructure, operating models, and best practices that support long-term regional growth.
• Identify and address structural gaps in capability, process, or governance across markets.
• Large-Scale Program & Project Leadership
• Lead complex, multi-country TA initiatives across APAC, managing timelines, interdependencies, risk, and outcomes.
• Establish clear governance, decision-making frameworks, and change management plans to ensure adoption and sustainability.
• Navigate ambiguity and competing priorities in fast-growing or less mature markets.
• Senior Stakeholder Influence & Communications
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior HR and business leaders across APAC, clearly articulating TA strategy, constraints, and trade-offs.
• Build and deliver compelling communications—executive updates, regional forums, dashboards, and written materials.
• Confidently and respectfully challenge senior stakeholders when requests are misaligned with TA strategy, capacity, compliance, or long-term sustainability.
• Data, Insights & Continuous Improvement
• Leverage TA data and market insights to identify risks, trends, and optimization opportunities across APAC.
• Translate data into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership.
• Drive continuous improvement in TA effectiveness, efficiency, and credibility.
• Technology, Vendor & Process Enablement
• Partner with global and regional TA Operations leaders to implement and scale TA technologies, vendors, and automation across APAC.
• Ensure solutions are compliant, scalable, and appropriate for markets at different maturity levels.
• Optimise the recruiter and candidate experience through enablement—not direct delivery.
• Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration
• Work closely with HR, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Business leaders to ensure integrated, regionally appropriate solutions.
• Act as a bridge between global COE strategy and APAC execution realities.
• Preferred Qualifications & Experience
• APAC TA Leadership Experience: Demonstrated experience leading TA operations across multiple APAC countries, including new market entry and capability build-out.
