• Manage attendance and leave records, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with company policies
• Provide guidance on HR policies, employee relations, and compliance to maintain a positive work environment
• Analyze HR metrics and contribute insights to workforce planning, organizational development, and HR strategies aligned with TRAVELOG's growth objectives

Culture Fit

At TRAVELOG, we're a trust-based, fast-moving company with a lean structure — every team member carries real responsibility and directly contributes to our success.

We're not looking for passengers. We're looking for leaders who are ready to grow, challenge themselves, and shape the future of travel in Malaysia and beyond.

Our Ideal Teammates

• Self-Driven - Take initiative, set goals, and make things happen without waiting for instructions
• Play at the Top - Strive for excellence, benchmark against the best, and never settle for "good enough."
• Results-Focused - Measure success by impact, not effort. Focus on what truly moves the needle

If you're ready to think big, take ownership, and build something meaningful, TRAVELOG gives you the platform, trust, and support to make a lasting impact.
