• Deep strength in Compensation & Benefits (C&B), organizational design, manpower planning, and policy framework development.

• Thorough understanding of Vietnam Labor Law, statutory regulations, and HR compliance standards.

• Proven capability to lead, mentor, and empower functional HR teams and direct reports.

• Exceptional communication, influence, and relationship-building skills across diverse Business Units and cross-functional teams.

• Advanced English proficiency (equivalent to IELTS 6.5+) to report directly to expat BOD members and communicate effectively with BU Heads.
