We're representing a Mid-size company (200-400 people) that has basic HR function but need operational support.

• Employee support: Answer benefits questions, process leave requests, support employee inquiries


• HR operations: Maintain employee records, generate reports, update HRIS

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills


• Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable


• Comfortable learning HR systems and processes on the job


• Curiosity about how organizations work


• A growth mindset with new technology — you learn the tools before you're told to, and you're honest about what you don't know yet


• The ability to give feedback that lands and receive it without armour


• Stakeholder management across functions — you keep the right people close, informed, and on side


• Communication skills that hold up with senior leaders — clear, concise, and credible in the rooms where decisions get made

We're looking for someone who:

• Is eager to learn (this is your entry into HR)


• Takes ownership (when you say you'll do something, you deliver)


• Asks for help when needed (not making costly assumptions)

Why this role matters:

You're getting real HR experience in a growing company. You'll see every part of the HR function. You'll build the skills and network that lead to mid-career visibility. If you do well here, you'll be ready for promotion to HR Officer or Specialist within 2-3 years
