• Provide guidance and support in handling employee concerns, conflicts, and disciplinary actions, and ensure compliance with employment laws and regulations.
• Ensure efficient and effective HR operations, including HRIS management, data integrity, and reporting.
• Develop and implement HR policies and procedures that comply with legal and regulatory requirements and stay up to date with employment laws and regulations.

What You Bring to the Table

• Strong strategic thinking and business acumen, with the ability to align people strategies with organizational goals.
• Excellent leadership and team management abilities, with a track record of building and developing high-performing HR teams.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to use data to drive insights and decision-making.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity, adapt quickly to change, and drive results.
• A strong background in human resources, talent management, and employee engagement, who can drive a culture of excellence and foster an inclusive and high-performing work environment.
