Overview

WWF-Singapore is looking for a hands-on Head of People and Culture to lead the full HR agenda for a purpose-driven organisation committed to building a future in which people live in harmony with nature. Reporting to the CEO, this role will shape and deliver practical people strategies that strengthen culture, capability and organisational effectiveness across a lean and mission-led team.

• Use sound judgment, good prioritisation and a hands-on approach to move multiple priorities forward at pace.

• HR leaders with broad generalist depth who enjoy being close to the work, not just setting direction.
• Individuals who are practical, grounded and willing to roll up their sleeves in a lean team environment.
• Strong communicators who can engage credibly with employees at all levels and build effective relationships across a diverse stakeholder group.
• Professionals who are organised, resilient and able to manage competing demands without losing sight of quality or culture.
• Candidates motivated by purpose, values and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution beyond pure commercial reward.
