Head of HR - Management Consultancy in London

RMA Group, headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, is a multi-sector group with over 9000 employees and an operational presence in 14 countries. For almost 40 years, we have developed enduring partnerships to support the needs of our clients, underpinned by the core values of Innovation, Integrity and Endurance.

We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven person to join our Corporate HR team in Bangkok to support our General Manager, Talent in driving global initiatives around talent planning and management. This role offers a unique opportunity for global HR professionals looking to gain international experience. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work in vibrant Bangkok and work on global projects, gaining exposure to a diverse range of cultures and industries while enhancing their global HR expertise.

This person’s role would cover the end-to-end HR talent lifecycle, initially focused on recruitment and talent development, but can gradually expand to cover broader aspects of HR. This would include employee engagement, succession planning, and implementing technologies to help our global HR teams be on the cutting edge of HR best practices.

In addition, this person would have the opportunity to work on different projects within the RMA Group, with a priority of translating learning to real-world results.

• Manage the end-to-end recruitment processes: Oversee the full cycle of recruitment, from sourcing and screening candidates to conducting interviews and coordinating onboarding, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and talent needs. Support the GM of Talent in the recruitment of senior leaders globally. Assertiveness and confidence is required as this role requires partnering with and even challenging senior management during senior leadership recruitment.
• Develop and deliver talent development programs: Design, implement, and evaluate training initiatives that foster employee growth, enhance leadership capabilities, and align with RMA’s global learning and development strategy. This could be in the areas of business transformation, process improvement, or initiatives around sustainability (amongst others).
• Collaborate with stakeholders: Design and execute employee engagement programs that improve workplace satisfaction, culture, and retention across diverse teams.
• Leverage technology to advance HR practices: Identify and implement technologies (including AI) that enhance talent management, streamline workflows, and align global HR teams with cutting-edge industry best practices.

Bachelor’s degree in Business and HR or a field requiring analysis (HR or associated accreditations would be advantageous). Engineering graduates are also encouraged to apply if they have the requisite interest or experience in HR or consultancy.

~8+ years experience creating impact within a HR role, with a multinational organization and/or 8+ years experience in impactful project management, business transformation, or consultancy (desirable).

~ Executive presence – age is not a barrier in applying for this role. However, since this person would work with executives and support in the recruitment of executives, a mature and methodical approach is a must to succeed in this role.

In addition, we want someone with a track record of driving through results and challenging the status quo – someone who wants to drive the bus, and not someone who is comfortable in being a passenger on the bus. Someone who would be comfortable in discussing with, and in some cases, challenging Senior Executives on matters related to Talent and Recruitment.

Our values of Innovation, Integrity and Endurance are embedded in what we do, and we welcome applicants who are committed to respecting diversity of thought, and in living our values on a day-to-day basis.
