• Internal Initiatives: Help organize employee events, team-building activities, gifts, newsletters, and other initiatives that contribute to employee engagement and workplace satisfaction.

• Proactive, reliable, and able to work independently within established procedures
• Experience with HR systems or payroll tools is an advantage
• 32-40 hours per week availability (full time is preferred)
