Head of Human Resources (Part-time) - #1102898

At Geniebook, we’re building the future of personalised hybrid education across Southeast Asia. As we scale, we’re seeking a high-impact, execution-focused fractional HR leader to optimise our people systems, elevate manager effectiveness and ensure HR operations are sharp, scalable and seamless—freeing up our leadership team to focus on strategic growth.

This isn’t a theoretical exercise. We need a hands-on builder who can identify what’s not working and get it running—fast and sustainably.

Scope of Work

• Performance & People Systems: Strengthen our current performance management system—make it pragmatic, fast and empowering

• Clarity & Accountability: Bring consistency to role expectations, delegation and decision-making across teams

• Execution Gaps: Plug critical follow-through issues across hiring, alignment and performance

• HR Operations: Tighten execution of HR policies, streamline core processes and drive a 50% improvement in HR operations efficiency through HRIS and AI — balancing immediate fixes with long-term scalability.

• Internal Collaboration: Coordinate closely with internal HR and admin teams to build systems that stick, not siloed solutions

• Culture Catalyst: Reinforce a high-performance, high-trust culture in how people processes are designed and lived

What This Role Is Not

• A top-down HR transformation project

• A full reinvention of performance appraisals

• A slow-moving, process-heavy role disconnected from real execution

Engagement Structure

• 2–3 days per week, for a 6–9 month period

• High-touch collaboration with the CEO and SLT

• Outcome-driven with clear OKRs and measurable impact

Requirement

• Proven experience in leading HR systems within fast-paced environments, balancing speed and structure effectively.

• Comfortable in coaching managers, optimizing HR technology, and addressing and resolving broken workflows.

• Demonstrates humility, builds trust quickly, and delivers meaningful change within the organization.
