HR Operations & Rewards Manager

Love, Bonito Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

About Us

Love, Bonito is Southeast Asia's leading womenswear brand, built with a mission to empower women to find confidence through style. Incorporated in 2010 in Singapore, we've since grown from a humble online startup into a multi‑channel business with over 20 stores and a thriving online presence.

For the next decade, we are looking to expand through new categories, markets, wholesale partnerships, and brand acquisitions. We are evolving into a next‑generation regional consumer group — one that blends heart with performance, and creativity with technology.

At our core, we're a team of builders, dreamers, and doers who believe culture is more than words on a wall — it's how we show up every day. We move fast, stay curious, and take bold bets on ideas and people we believe in. Here, you'll find a community that challenges you to grow, trusts you to lead, and celebrates you for being you. Together, we're shaping the future of Asian brands — from right here in Southeast Asia, to the world.

Why join us?

  • Purpose with performance : We hold ourselves to high standards and operate with purpose, integrity, grit and excellence. Join us if you take customer service excellence seriously and are passionate about creating real impact!
  • Growth that's real : We are known to be incredibly dynamic and fast‑paced. You'll be expected to learn fast, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and work alongside people who challenge and support you in equal measure.
  • Culture at our core : If you're looking for a no‑corporate‑BS environment, you'll fit right in. We lead with empathy, celebrate individuality, and believe that great work comes from trust, not titles.

The role

We are looking for a strategic and hands‑on Manager of People Operations & Rewards team to build the foundation that supports our people to thrive. This is a global role that will oversee our people systems, payroll, rewards, compliance, and people analytics—ensuring we scale with consistency, care, and clarity.

You'll lead and grow a team, manage vendor partners, and collaborate across our People & Culture function—as well as with organisational leaders and internal stakeholders—to design and operationalise a seamless employee experience.
