As a Senior Talent Management Manager at the Group/Holding level of a multi-industry conglomerate, you will act as a Strategic Architect and Ecosystem Enabler.

- Group Succession Planning: Build and continuously update succession maps for key strategic roles at Group HQ and C-suite/Managing Director levels across OpCos.
- Ecosystem Mobility Mechanisms: Establish policies and frameworks that facilitate smooth talent movement across business units (e.g., FMCG, Retail, F&B, Tech) to optimize human capital allocation and address executive talent gaps.
- Multi-Dimensional Career Pathways: Design cross-functional and cross-entity career paths to provide key leaders with diverse ecosystem exposure, preparing them for future conglomerate-level leadership.
- Young Leadership Initiatives: Lead the strategy, design, and execution of flagship Group-level talent programs (e.g., Management Trainee, Young Executive Programs).
- Group Employer Value Proposition (EVP): Drive the Group-level Employer Branding strategy to attract top-tier executive, international, and tech talent to the entire ecosystem.
- Group Leadership Academy/Initiatives: Design strategic leadership capability programs focusing on executive management, strategic thinking, and transformation leadership.
- Embed Group Culture DNA: Ensure core corporate values are seamlessly integrated into talent assessment, development, and recognition processes across all operating subsidiaries.
- Group Talent Dashboard: Own centralized talent data and deliver actionable insights (e.g., Talent Pipeline Health, HiPo Retention, Succession Readiness) to the Executive Committee and Board of Directors.
- Governance & Transparency: Oversee OpCo talent evaluation cycles to ensure fairness, consistency, and alignment with Group-wide benchmarks.
Requirements
- Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or related fields.
- Professional Experience: 8+ years of progressive HR/Talent Management experience, with at least 3–5 years in a managerial or strategic talent role within large-scale conglomerates, multi-entity corporations, or top-tier HR/Management Consultancies.
