We work with founders who don’t just launch companies — they scale them. We’re now leading the search for a Human Resources Director on behalf of a high-growth startup in Indonesia, ready to transform its people function into a true growth enabler.
This is a critical role moving HR from admin and operations into a strategic driver of scale. You’ll design the systems, policies, and talent programs that let the business grow fast, sustainably, and with the right people in place.
If you thrive in high-growth environments, know how to balance structure with startup agility, and can turn HR into a competitive advantage, this is your next move.
