Job description

We are looking for a reliable and organised Office & HR Manager to support the smooth running of our Kuala Lumpur office. This role will provide day-to-day support across finance, HR, payroll, and general administration functions.

You will work closely with the UK HR team to support all HR-related activities in Malaysia, ensuring alignment with global practices while maintaining full compliance with Malaysian employment law. The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, proactive, and able to manage multiple administrative tasks with minimal supervision.

Who We Are

We are Trade Nation. We help our customers power up their trading through killer insights, transparent costs, and fairer ways to trade. We’re innovators, and proud of it. And we’ve grown a lot in our decade as a market-leading low-cost trading powerhouse. Our reach is global through our teams in the UK, Australia, Portugal, South Africa, Seychelles and The Bahamas.

Founded on transparency, forged in trust and powered by people, we’re committed to empowering our customers to outperform the markets. How? By minimising expenses and harnessing technology to prioritise the lowest trading costs.

But enough about us. Let’s hear about you.

Who you are

You’re something special. You pride yourself on being unique and bringing your own history to the table – finding solutions to daily challenges in a way that can’t be done by anyone else. Maybe you talk a big game, maybe you don’t. The important thing is that you do what you say and follow through to see every customer thrive.

You don’t play with the bumpers up. That means breaking out of your lane when needed to help others – or forging your own completely. Every problem is our problem and that’s how you see it too. Because Trade Nation’s people have a shared vision, and you want to be part of making it a reality.

You know when to take the right sort of risks, the ones that push you to be better. You’re not afraid to try, fail, and then try harder. But don’t worry, you’ll have all the support you need to thrive with us at Trade Nation, and we can’t wait to enable you to learn and grow.

Ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in?
