Job description

Our vision

At Rotate, we’re building the go-to team for commercial decision‑making tools in the air cargo industry. By combining cutting‑edge software with deep industry and strategy consulting expertise, we help global organizations transform data into actionable insights for smarter, faster decisions.

What you’ll be doing

As the People & Operations Coordinator at Rotate, you’ll ensure our internal operations run smoothly, and support both our people and administrative functions. You will work closely with our Head of Asia and the Head of Engineering to coordinate recruiting, onboarding, and operational tasks that keep our Malaysian office efficient and effective.

Specifically, you will

• Coordinate the full recruitment process: drafting job ads, scheduling and organising interviews, liaising with candidates and hiring teams, drive structured onboarding for new joiners
• Manage HR‑administrative tasks: timesheet tracking, leave plan collection, ensuring policy / process adherence, maintaining organized records.
• Support visa renewals for expat staff: organising documentation, liaising with authorities and our HR service provider.
• Run office and operations administration
• Be a structured “go‑to” person for miscellaneous tasks that help the team focus on strategic work.
• Providing light finance support assisting with invoicing, chasing receivables, collaborating with the finance team for basic tasks is nice to have

What you’ll need

We value individuals who are organized, reliable, proactive and comfortable working in a dynamic, fast paced moving startup environment with a lot of freedom and responsibility. Further, you should

• Have a strong administrative or operations‑focused background (2+ years) supporting recruitment and/or people operations.
• Be highly structured and process‑oriented: you set up systems, keep on top of detail, and anticipate what needs to happen next.
• Have good coordination skills: managing calendars, scheduling multiple stakeholders, tracking follow‑ups, and driving tasks to completion.
• Be comfortable with “people” tasks (onboarding, timesheets, leave tracking) as well as “office/operations” tasks (logistics, bookings, general admin).
• Ideally have some exposure to visa/immigration administration or supporting expat staff.
• Ideally have some light finance or invoicing experience— though this is not required.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).
• Affinity or experience in the aviation industry is a plus.
• Resident of Malaysia and holder of a valid Malaysian work permit.
