Head of HR, Vietnam (with regional growth path)

Industry: Software Development- Ondemand Services
Report to: BOD
Office Location: Thu Duc City, HCMC, Vietnam
ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are hiring a Head of Human Resources to own the full Vietnam HR function and sit on the local leadership team. As our Southeast Asia footprint grows, this role has a clear path to expand into a regional HR remit covering (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.)- we&039;re looking for someone who wants to build that scope, not someone who already has the full title elsewhere.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES- Vietnam (the role as it stands today)
Own the full HR function for Vietnam: talent acquisition, total rewards, L&D, employee relations, and compliance with Vietnamese labor law;
Act as a strategic partner to the Vietnam leadership team and sit on the local management committee;
Build and lead the local HR team; raise the function from operational to strategic;
Partner with regional/global HR counterparts on policy alignment and reporting- this is where early regional exposure starts.
Where the role is headed (growth path, not a day- one requirement)
As the company scales its SEA presence, take on HR oversight or coordination for additional markets in the region;
Build the regional HR operating model (policy harmonization, total rewards consistency, talent mobility) from the ground up rather than inheriting one;
Represent SEA HR in discussions with global/regional leadership as scope expands.
What we&039;re looking for
5- 10 years of progressive HR leadership experience, including demonstrated success building or scaling a country HR function in Vietnam;
Experience operating inside an MNC, FDI, regional business, or matrixed reporting structure even without formal regional ownership, has worked closely with regional/global HR counterparts;
Strong business partnering track record: sits with leadership as a strategic advisor, not just an operational HR lead;
Fluent in Vietnamese and English;
Clear appetite for scope growth has actively sought out cross- border projects, regional exposure, or stretch assignments in past roles, even if the formal title stayed country- level.
Nice to have (signals of regional readiness- not required)
Any direct or cluster- level exposure to another SEA market;
Experience working with regional COEs, shared services, or multi- country HRIS rollouts;
Prior stint based outside Vietnam, even briefly;
Additional regional language.
