Job Description
The Company
Acteus is a trading and industrial procurement group operating across Asia Pacific, with entities in Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea and a team in Australia. Acteus sources, supplies and supports operations for clients in oil and gas, mining, aviation fuelling, chemicals, construction, food
processing and renewable energy — sectors where reliability and compliance are not negotiable. Ten years of continued growth have brought the group to around a hundred people across five locations. The culture is fast-paced, high-productivity and high-engagement, multicultural by construction, and used
to working across time zones.
The role (Based in either Bangkok or Phnom Penh)
You will own the people agenda for the Group, reporting directly to the CEO, based close to the largest operating teams.
This is a building mandate, not a maintenance one — the way roles are defined, performance is measured and people are developed now needs to match the size the business has reached.
• Define what good looks like for every key role: clear missions, measurable outcomes, competencies
and decision rights
• Build and run the performance rhythm across the Group — business reviews, quarterly performance
conversations, annual appraisals and career conversations — and coach managers to hold them well
• Lead recruitment for the core roles, with structured, evidence-based hiring, and manage external
partners for specialist positions
• Own succession planning and leadership readiness, with real development plans behind every critical
position
• Lead retention: know who matters most, understand what keeps them, and act early
• Support the effectiveness of a distributed organisation — the rhythm and communication discipline that
replace physical proximity
• Ensure sound, compliant HR practice in each jurisdiction
What you bring
• Five or more years in HR with a demonstrably successful track record, earned in a fast-moving environment — pace and adaptability matter more than length of service
• Strong business acumen: you understand how a business makes money, and you connect people decisions to commercial outcomes
• Credibility with senior stakeholders — you can hold your position with experienced leaders and be listened to
• A track record of building, in an organisation that was growing while you did it
• Hands-on recruitment capability at management and specialist level
• Multi-country, multi-site or distributed experience is a strong advantage
Candidates of all nationalities are welcome. What matters is being already established in Asia, with a genuine track record in the region and able to work in Thailand or Cambodia.
Why this one
A blank page, a direct line to the CEO, and an organisation that has earned the right to build properly.
What you put in place will still be running long after you have built it.
