What we are looking for:

At M+C Saatchi Performance, we believe that people are our greatest strength — and we are looking for a People Manager who shares that belief and is ready to grow with us.

You will be supporting our growing teams across the employee lifecycle and acting as a critical bridge between People Ops and business teams. You will be the go-to person for employee experience, onboarding, day-to-day HR advice, and culture-building — while gaining exposure to more strategic people initiatives in the APAC region.

This role is ideal for someone who has strong operational HR grounding and is ready to step into advisory work with managers, helping to shape team dynamics, engagement, and performance conversations. You will work closely with the People Partner to implement regional people strategies that enable our teams to thrive in a fast-moving, high-performance environment.

• Support country leads and department heads with people-related matters including team morale, performance concerns, and employee check-ins.
• Facilitate stay interviews, exit interviews, and feedback loops to improve engagement and retention.
•  Escalate complex ER (employee relations) issues to the People Partner, while managing documentation and process integrity.
   

Performance, Development & Engagement

• Coordinate and support execution of the bi-annual performance appraisal cycle: employee reminders, calibration sessions, and feedback gathering.
• Assist with promotion documentation, career pathing discussions, and pulse surveys.
• Partner with L&D to coordinate soft skills training, track participation, and gather feedback on sessions.
• Monitor and support employee engagement initiatives in partnership with People Partner
   

 People Ops & Compliance

• Support monthly payroll inputs (attendance, leave records, allowances) in collaboration with Finance.
• Work closely with the People Operations Hub to ensure smooth working flows, such as:

• Maintaining accurate employee records in HRIS (e.g., Workday) including contracts, transfers and status changes.
• Ensuring HR processes are compliant with local labor regulations and company policies
• Onboarding and offboarding experience: pre-joiner communication, orientation flow, and exit coordination.
   

Projects & Culture

• Collaborate on regional HR projects (e.g., new hire buddy program, DEI initiatives, compliance trainings, policy refreshes).
• Assist in running internal communication campaigns around key HR milestones.
• Help plan and execute team events, recognition moments, and leadership communications.

What You Bring:

• A strong working knowledge of employment law and HR practices in your region.
• Strong partnering relationship with multiple stakeholders
