We work at the frontier of AI, tackling big, real-world problems for global enterprises across multiple industries, armed with state-of-the-art technology and a culture that prizes courage, rigor, and relentless curiosity. Our BRAVER values aren't just words on a wall - they describe the kind of people we are and the standard we hold ourselves to every day. Our leadership team is entrepreneurial, experienced, and accessible, with an open-door policy that means you'll never be just a number here.

If you're ready to work alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry, push into uncharted territory, and do work that genuinely matters, Future Secure AI is the place for you. We are seeking a Head of Talent Acquisition, APAC to build and lead a high-performing, scalable hiring function during a critical phase of growth. This is a leadership role for a strategic operator who is experienced in developing and mobilising talent acquisition strategies that enable growth, scale and quality. You are deeply networked across technical and commercial markets, energised by ambiguity, and able to work calmly across competing priorities. Success looks like a unified team, a predictable and fast hiring engine, and a hiring experience that reflects the calibre of FSAI. You will operate at both a strategic and operational level - setting direction while remaining close enough to execution to ensure outcomes are delivered.
