We are seeking a mature, approachable and hands‑on Senior HR Executive to manage our day‑to‑day HR operations while strengthening employee engagement, workplace culture and alignment with the firm’s direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage recruitment activities, including job advertisements, application screening and interview arrangements.
• Conduct first‑round interviews and provide structured candidate assessments for the partner’s second interview.
• Coordinate employment offers, onboarding, orientation, probation reviews and employee confirmation.
• Process monthly payroll and ensure the timely submission of EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and other statutory requirements.
• Maintain accurate employee records, employment documents and personnel files.
• Administer and monitor employee leave, attendance, medical certificates, lateness and absence.
• Monitor timesheet submissions and follow up on missing, incomplete or late submissions.
• Address recurring attendance or conduct concerns through documented counselling, reminders and appropriate HR correspondence.
• Prepare regular HR reports covering payroll, recruitment, attendance, leave, training and employee turnover.
• Coordinate internal and external training programmes, training records and HRD Corp matters where applicable.
• Administer employee benefits, review employee feedback and recommend commercially practical improvements to management.
• Review and update the employee handbook, HR policies and employment documents in line with Malaysian employment requirements.
• Support employee engagement, recognition, communication and team‑building initiatives.
• Act as a trusted link between employees and management by listening to concerns, communicating management’s direction and building employee understanding and cooperation.
• Promote professionalism, accountability, teamwork, timely completion of work and respect for agreed policies and deadlines.

Requirements

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management, Business Administration or a related discipline.
• At least three to five years of relevant HR generalist experience.
• Hands‑on experience in payroll, statutory submissions, recruitment, attendance and leave administration.
• Practical knowledge of Malaysian employment legislation and statutory requirements.
• Experience reviewing employee handbooks, HR policies or employment documents.
• Experience conducting candidate screening and first‑round interviews.
• Able to prepare clear and professional HR letters and reports.
• Familiar with Microsoft Office and payroll, attendance or HR management systems.
• Good written and spoken English and Bahasa Malaysia.
• Experience in audit, accounting, legal, consulting or another professional‑services environment would be an advantage.

The Person We Are Looking For

• Approachable and able to connect naturally with employees.
• Mature, discreet and trustworthy with confidential information.
• Positive and capable of influencing employees constructively.
• Able to communicate management’s direction and gain employee cooperation.
• Employee‑focused while remaining committed to the firm’s legitimate interests.
• Friendly but firm when handling leave, lateness, attendance and timesheet issues.
• Fair and consistent when applying company policies.
• Proactive, organised and able to follow matters through to completion.
• Unwilling to participate in gossip, favouritism or workplace politics.

Why Join Us?

• Work directly with the firm’s leadership and decision-makers.
• Take ownership of a broad HR and people portfolio.
• Help shape the firm’s employee experience and workplace culture.
• Introduce practical improvements to our HR systems, policies and employee benefits.
• Gain exposure to a growing professional‑services environment.
