Head of HR (Local Conglomerate)

About the Role
We are proud to be partnering exclusively with a fast-growing local conglomerate business chain in Indonesia as they enter an exciting phase of rapid expansion. Currently operating across multiple stores nationwide — with new markets actively opening and an international launch on the horizon — they are searching for a Head of Human Capital to build and lead the people function from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the HC foundation of a high-growth business chain at the exact moment it needs to scale.

What You Will Need
Our client needs a seasoned HC leader who has lived the realities of scaling a high-volume operation — someone who understands the hiring cadence, training demands, and people challenges that come with rapid store rollouts. Cultural alignment with a young, dynamic, and fast-moving leadership team is just as important as technical capability.

• 8–12 years of experience in Human Capital or HR, with a strong background in high-volume retail or F&B operations
• Hands-on experience scaling a business chain through rapid expansion — familiarity with the operational rhythm of growing a store network from the ground up is a strong advantage
• A proven track record in high-volume hiring — you know how to build pipelines, move fast, and maintain quality under pressure
• Strong capability in training and development infrastructure — you have built or scaled onboarding and capability programs that actually stick on the floor
• Experience managing HC across multiple locations, including newly opened or pre-opening markets
• Exposure to or appetite for cross-border people operations — the role will include contributing to an international market launch
• A hands-on, execution-first mindset — you are comfortable being close to the detail while keeping sight of the bigger picture
• A collaborative and energetic leadership style that resonates with a young, driven leadership team
• Comfort with ambiguity and the pace of a business where the plan can shift as fast as the market does

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end HC operations across all existing stores — ensuring hiring, onboarding, training, and people processes are running effectively and consistently
• Lead high-volume recruitment to support ongoing and upcoming store expansions — building pipelines and instilling a hiring culture that keeps pace with growth
• Build and scale a training infrastructure fit for rapid expansion — from frontline onboarding to supervisor development, ensuring every new store opens with a ready team
• Support the opening of new markets with the HC groundwork needed for a smooth ramp-up
• Contribute to the preparation and people planning for an international market launch, and coordinate on hiring frameworks, compliance considerations, and cultural onboarding
• Partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to align people priorities with business targets and expansion timelines
• Establish HC reporting, headcount tracking, and workforce planning discipline across the network
• Build and develop the internal HC team to support the scale ahead

Call for Action
To be successful in this role, you will need to be a people-first operator with the grit, pace, and practical instincts to build an HC function that grows as fast as the business does. If you are keen to apply, please send your updated CV to [email protected]
