• Produce monthly reports on headcount, turnover, absence and other people metrics

Projects and culture

• 5–10 years in HR or People Operations, ideally including a generalist or advisory role
• Strong working knowledge of local labour law and statutory compliance
• Hands-on experience with an HRIS and people processes
• Sound judgement on employee-relations cases and confidential matters
• Clear written and spoken communication, with the confidence to advise senior managers
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and comfort working with data

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
