A leading international organisation is seeking an experienced TA Lead (APAC) to lead talent acquisition across ANZ and a few countries in Asia.
Reporting to the GM of HR APAC, this is a highly visible role operating as part of the regional HR leadership team. You will partner closely with senior operational and corporate leaders to shape workforce strategy, build talent pipelines and deliver best-practice recruitment outcomes across the region.
This is far more than a traditional recruitment role. We are looking for a trusted advisor with the credibility, commercial acumen and executive presence to influence hiring decisions, challenge thinking and elevate talent acquisition as a strategic business function.
About the Role
This is a 2 year fixed term contract based in North Sydney and offering hybrid working 2- 3 days in the office and 2 days WFH.

- Drive an exceptional candidate experience and strengthen employer brand
- Analyse talent market trends and provide strategic hiring advice
- Manage recruitment processes, suppliers and governance frameworks across APAC
- Support and influence hiring activity across both corporate and operational environments
Recruitment activity is primarily focused on salaried hiring across engineering, maintenance, health & safety, projects, operational leadership and corporate support functions.
About You
You are a relationship-driven Talent Acquisition leader who enjoys operating at both a strategic and hands-on level.
You will likely bring:
- Proven Talent Acquisition leadership experience within industrial, manufacturing, engineering, mining, infrastructure, resources or similar environments
- Strong experience recruiting technical, operational and leadership talent
- The confidence and credibility to partner with senior executives and operational leaders
- A consultative approach, with the ability to influence decisions rather than simply take job briefs
