Job Requirements

Skills, Knowledge & Qualification

Must have:

• 3–5 years in HRBP, HR Generalist, or People Partner roles — with real experience sitting alongside business teams and handling people issues, not just processing HR requests.
• Exceptional communication skills — written and verbal. Able to deliver difficult messages with care, write clear and compelling communications, and adapt tone for different audiences.
• Genuinely people-oriented: high empathy, strong active listening, and the kind of presence that makes employees and managers feel heard and supported.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration: comfortable working across Account, Media, Tech, Finance, and other departments without needing a formal authority structure to get things done.
• Facilitation competence: independently runs workshops, group sessions, or feedback conversations without needing to rely on external support.
• AI-savvy: uses AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) to work faster and smarter — drafting communications, preparing materials, and managing information. Non-negotiable at PMAX.

Good to have:

• L&D delivery experience: has facilitated training programs or onboarding sessions, not just attended them.
• Exposure to OD or talent development work — IDP rollout, succession conversations, or employee development coaching.
• Background in fast-moving companies (agencies, startups, or scale-ups) where the HRBP role required flexibility and speed.
• Coaching skills or certification (ICF, coaching fundamentals, or equivalent) — a plus for the people-partnering dimension of this role.

Mindset

• Problem-solving: Approaches challenges with structured thinking. Doesn’t wait to be told the answer — builds hypotheses, tests them, and moves forward with conviction.
• AI-first: Actively uses AI tools to work smarter, faster, and better. Sees AI as a competitive advantage and a core part of how great HR work gets done today.
• Can-do attitude: Embraces ambiguity and high standards. Takes ownership even when the path isn’t clear. Finds a way — because there is always a way.

PMAX-er Identification

• Client Impact: Everything we do is ultimately to deliver real client impact and value.
• Innovation: Innovation is to drive change and innovative new ideas to create more values for clients, teams and society.
• People development: People development is to attract, develop, and retain the most talented people. Development is a responsibility, not a choice, of both the individual as well as the organization.
• Integrity: Integrity is to be honest and show a consistent and uncompromising adherence to what is right, even if it is at our own cost.
• Teamwork and fun: Teamwork and fun is the cooperative and collaborative effort of a team to achieve a common goal or to complete a task, and trying to build a joyful & enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.
• Extreme ownership: Extreme Ownership is the practice of owning everything in your world, to an extreme degree. Think of yourself as the owner of the company. It means you are responsible for not just those tasks which you directly control, but for all those that affect whether or not your task is successful.
