We are the engine or battery that keeps everything running smoothly for our people across these four countries. Come join us in creating a best-in-class employee experience every step of the way!

- Collaborate closely and effectively with other HR teams (analytics, systems etc.) to make every employee process faster, smarter and more seamless
- Identify trends in HR tickets and get ahead of them; reduce inbound volume through better self-service, streamlining and standardisation
- Ensure our HR systems (e.g. HRIS, time tracking tools and more) are running smoothly, collaborating with systems specialists on continuous improvements that match the business needs
- Ensure operational processes, procedures and policies stay fully aligned with current employment law and compliance requirements
- Identify and drive projects that simplify, standardise and empower self-service throughout the entire employee journey
- People management experience, ideally in an HR Shared Services or Operations environment (we love leaders who have already thrived in fast-paced environments!)
- Strong knowledge of HR processes and systems
- A good understanding of local labour law in the West Region countries
- A talent for elevating the employee- / internal customer experience
- Excellent Microsoft Office skills (especially Excel, Outlook, and Word)
