What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who is an experienced, proactive professional with a strong understanding of HR policies, procedures, and best practices. You will play a key role in supporting business integrations, ensuring seamless people transitions and providing expert advice and guidance for all our business areas. Additionally, you will support with recruitment efforts to drive business success. You will also contribute to shaping and enhancing our company culture, ensuring it continues to evolve in a positive and engaging way.

You'll provide essential administrative support, including managing documentation, reporting, and key onboarding and employee lifecycle processes.
