Senior HR Business Partner (APAC) – Insurance

We are delighted to be partnering with a leading international insurance group on a newly created Regional Senior HR Business Partnering (APAC) opportunity. With an established footprint in Singapore, the firm is heavily investing in HR transformation and business growth to enhance its broking and re-insurance operations and maintain its competitive edge in the industry from a regional and global perspective.

The Senior HR Business Partner (APAC), operating in an individual contributor capacity, will work closely with senior leaders across a number of business areas spread across the region to drive strategic HR initiatives that support the firm’s ambitious transformation agenda.

This role requires a strong business mindset, the ability to navigate change, and the expertise to shape and implement HR strategies that foster a high-performing and engaged workforce. You will be operating in a business-facing, strategic but also hands-on role, given the lean nature of the HR BP team. A key focus will be on leading change management efforts, ensuring smooth transitions during the firm’s transformation while minimizing disruption to business operations. You will also play a crucial role in talent management, overseeing recruitment, leadership development, and retention strategies to build a robust and future-ready workforce. Employee engagement will be another critical area, requiring you to cultivate a positive work environment, address concerns effectively, and strengthen overall employee relations. Additionally, you will drive performance management initiatives, ensuring that business objectives align with individual and team goals while fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.

The ideal candidate will bring at least 10-15 years of proven experience as a Regional or International HR Business Partner, ideally within the insurance, broking, re-insurance, or financial services sector. Strong stakeholder management skills, the ability to influence at all levels, and a proactive approach to problem-solving will be essential. A deep understanding of the insurance and/or broking business and its unique HR requirements will be highly advantageous.

This is a compelling opportunity to be at the forefront of transformative growth and change within a leading global insurance group. The role offers significant scope to impact the firm’s success while working in a dynamic and forward-thinking environment.
