Chief People & Culture Officer

Frazer Jones is delighted to be exclusively retained on a confidential search for a newly created Chief People Officer role with a prominent family owned diversified group headquartered in Asia. The organisation operates across multiple service based businesses with a global workforce of approximately 10,000 employees and is entering its next phase of institutional growth, leadership succession planning and long term value creation at the group holding level.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, the Chief People Officer will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team. Based in Singapore, this role carries enterprise wide responsibility for shaping the people, culture and leadership agenda across the group’s portfolio of businesses. The CPO will partner both family principals and professional management teams to align organisational capability with the group’s long term vision, investment priorities and growth ambitions.

Operating at the group holding level, the mandate extends beyond traditional HR leadership. The Chief People Officer will play a central role in strengthening organisational culture, supporting leadership succession, and building scalable people frameworks that enable sustainable expansion across markets. The role will work closely with business leaders to drive organisational effectiveness, leadership development, talent mobility and performance discipline while preserving the entrepreneurial heritage and values of a family enterprise.

The remit covers the full spectrum of human capital leadership, including group level organisational design, executive talent strategy, succession planning, leadership and capability development, total rewards philosophy, governance frameworks and HR transformation. A key priority will be embedding a cohesive culture across diverse operating companies, ensuring alignment between family ownership principles, professional management practices and evolving business strategy. The CPO will also contribute to investment discussions from a people and capability perspective, supporting growth initiatives, new ventures and portfolio evolution.

The successful candidate will bring proven senior HR leadership experience within complex, multi business or diversified organisations. Experience working closely with founders, family owners, boards or principal shareholders will be highly valued, alongside the ability to influence senior stakeholders across different governance models. The role requires a commercially astute and culturally sensitive leader who combines strategic vision with hands on execution, and who is comfortable balancing legacy, purpose and performance in a values driven organisation.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Chief People Officer to operate at the intersection of ownership, leadership and long term enterprise building, shaping culture, growth and talent strategy for a meaningful services organisation with strong heritage and global ambitions.
