Ensure practices comply with labour law, statutory deductions and data-protection rules
Track regulatory changes and flag risks to the Head of People Operations
Payroll and benefits
Send accurate monthly payroll inputs and reconcile them with Finance
Administer benefits such as medical cover, pension and leave
Act as first point of contact for benefits providers and employee queries
Process improvement and HR data
Map and simplify HR processes to cut manual work and turnaround time
Configure and improve the HRIS and self-service tools
Produce monthly reports on headcount, turnover, absence and other people metrics
Projects and culture
Support performance review cycles, engagement surveys and learning initiatives
Contribute to wellbeing, DEI and culture programmes
Take on ad hoc People projects as the business grows
What You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, Business, Psychology or a related field
Professional HR certification (e.g. CHRP, CIPD Level 5 or equivalent)
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
Company sponsored healthcare plan.
Join a world class team of engineers, operators, and entrepreneurs from across the globe who are part of the inevitable trillion-dollar transition of two-wheelers to electric!
