• Experience working with HR systems, spreadsheets, and collaborative tools
• Good understanding of core HR processes, policies and standards (onboarding/offboarding, records management, time‑off tracking, basic compliance)
• Strong analytical mindset and comfort working with HR and operational data
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to explain HR processes clearly to non‑HR colleagues
• A people‑centred approach: you are approachable, empathetic, and comfortable being a visible, go-to contact for HR questions and support
• Proven ability to build trust and collaborate with managers and team members across functions and locations
• A proactive, solution‑oriented approach and comfort working in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Discretion, reliability, and a strong focus on security and privacy in handling personal data
• Curiosity about crypto, fintech, or technology‑driven organizations is a plus
