ABOUT IIX GLOBALIIX (Impact Investment Exchange) is a Singapore-headquartered pioneer in impact investing, connecting capital markets with sustainable development. For over a decade, IIX has been building the infrastructure for impact structuring innovative financial instruments, running donor-funded development programs, and developing digital platforms that serve impact investors, enterprises, and communities across Asia and beyond.Our work spans impact-linked securities, blended finance, gender-lens investing, and climate finance always with the goal of mobilizing private capital for social and environmental good. We are a lean, missionobsessed team. Everyone here wears multiple hats, moves fast, and cares deeply about the work. If that energizes you, you’ll thrive at IIX. ROLE PURPOSEIIX is scaling its teams across Asia and we need a senior recruiter who can own hiring end-to-end without waiting for instruction. This role exists to bring the right people into IIX faster and more cost-effectively — running direct sourcing where it works, managing external vendors where it doesn’t, and giving hiring managers a partner who pushes back when the brief is wrong. Success in the first year looks like: lower time-to-hire, reduced agency spend, a healthier pipeline for our hardest-to-fill SEA and APAC roles, and hiring managers who treat you as a trusted advisor rather than a coordinator.
