Junior HR Business Partner (Junior HRBP)

We're Hiring: Junior HR Business Partner (Junior HRBP)

📍 Location: Malaysia (Hybrid) | 🕓 Full-time | 💼 Junior Level

About One People Team (OPT)

One People Team (OPT) is an HR advisory and leadership development training company that partners with businesses to help them grow through their people.

OPT has two business pillars:

1. OPT Advisory: strategic HR business partnering
2. OPT Academy: leadership development, workshops, coaching, and learning programs

We work closely with startups, scale-ups, and family-owned businesses across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Our clients come to us not just for advice, but for real partnership. We care about their growth like it’s our own.

At OPT, we don’t do checklist HR. We believe in honest conversations, bold strategies, and building strong, healthy teams that drive real business outcomes.

The Role: Junior HRBP

As a Junior HRBP at One People Team (OPT), you will work closely with the Managing Partner and be trained hands-on across real consulting projects, real clients, and real HR challenges.

You will support multiple HR projects across Malaysia and Singapore and learn how to build and deliver HR solutions that create real impact. This includes projects such as performance appraisal systems, employee handbooks, HR policies, pulse surveys, talent initiatives, and culture-related work.

This role is designed for someone early in their HR career who wants to be developed into a confident, well-rounded HRBP. You will shadow client conversations, support project planning, drive project delivery, and gradually build the confidence to communicate directly with client stakeholders.

You will also play a big role in coordinating deliverables, managing timelines, and ensuring client stakeholders feel supported, clear, and confident through our work.

If you love HR, enjoy working with people, and want exposure that most junior roles simply do not offer, this role will stretch you in the best way.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Support HR consulting projects across multiple clients in Malaysia and Singapore (design, coordination, delivery, follow-through).
• Assist in building HR deliverables such as employee handbooks, HR policies, performance appraisal materials, and other HR toolkits.
• Manage client and stakeholder communication including updates, timelines, expectations, and project coordination.
• Support briefings and training sessions to help client teams implement the HR initiatives delivered.
• Maintain strong project management habits including task tracking, planning, prioritisation, documentation, and confidentiality management.

Who This Role Is For

• An early-career HR professional with 1 to 3 years of experience who wants to be groomed into a confident, well-rounded HRBP.
• Someone who enjoys working with people and can manage multiple stakeholders professionally (internal and/or external).
• A proactive and timely communicator who can write and speak confidently in English and Bahasa (Mandarin is a big plus).
• A detail-driven planner who is highly organised, great at prioritising, and able to multitask across multiple clients and projects.
• Someone mature, discreet, and dependable, who understands the importance of confidentiality when handling sensitive client information.

What Will Make You Successful

• Strong emotional intelligence and curiosity to learn and provide solutions
• The ability to build rapport and work with different types of people
• Experience or exposure across key HR areas such as performance, learning, talent, and culture
• A proactive mindset, high ownership, and high accountability
• A high standard of quality and care in your work

How Success Will Be Measured

• Impact and delivery quality: your ability to coordinate and support projects smoothly, on time, and with high-quality deliverables that create value for clients.
• Client confidence and capability: how much client stakeholders grow in confidence and competence to manage people, leadership, and culture matters after being guided and supported through our work.

Compensation and Growth

All employees and Partners at OPT receive a modest base monthly income. Your true earning potential is performance-based and fully within your control.

We operate on a transparent incentive model. The more value you create, the more you take home. If you’re looking for a stable, fixed salary job, this may not be for you.

But if you want to build your own success, love the business of people, and are excited about working across different types of clients, you’ll thrive here.
