• Contribute to process improvement efforts, focusing on identifying areas for automation and simplifying workflows.
• Implement, interpret, and help standardise HR policies across teams to ensure compliance and consistency in HR practices.
• Provide support for the implementation of Regional/ Global Projects, continuous improvement projects and collaborate with team members on best practices and process enhancements.

• Knowledge of HR regulations, specifically related to onboarding, employee lifecycle and policy maintenance.
• Experience leading small projects focused on process optimisation or compliance improvement is preferred.
