Habitat’s employees (like our volunteers, partner families, and even the areas regions we operate in) come from all reaches of the globe and represent a growing dedicated and diverse group of individuals focused on Habitat’s mission of bringing people together to build homes, communities and hope.  As the Director - Human Resources, Learning & Organizational Development (HRLOD), you are responsible for developing, implementing and managing our most valuable resources (our employees) in addition to the organizational development programs, systems, policies, and procedures which support the amazing work of Habitat and that build our capacity within the Asia/Pacific region.  You oversee the implementation of Habitat’s HR and Organizational Development plans and strategy for the region and are a strategic partner within the region. 

You are a consummate communicator – skillfully able to interact effectively and fluidly with individuals from diverse background and cultures and with varying personalities.  In addition to your remarkable communication skills, you bring a strong HR knowledge skillset, with a wide war chest of HR technical skills (i.e. compensation and benefits, employment, job evaluation, salary administration, performance management, talent management, and staff development.) 

Based at our Area Office, located in Manila, Philippines, you report to the Vice President for the Asia/Pacific area and manage the HR and Learning & Organizational Development team.  Additionally, this position requires some travel – perhaps up to 20% within the region with occasional trips to other Area Offices and the HQ in the US.  As a key member of the AP Senior Management Team, you will contribute to other strategic decisions that affect the direction of Habitat for Humanity International within the AP region.  You understand the need to keep sensitive matters in strict confidence.
