About the role:

You’ll own full-cycle HR support for our international, multi-country workforce and lead the automation projects that let us scale how we manage it.

What you’ll do:

Run full-cycle HR support for employees across multiple countries, coordinating directly with EOR and PEO providers in each jurisdiction.

Act as the go-to person for employees and managers on HR policies, benefits, and general people questions across markets.

Lead HR automation and process-improvement projects end to end — from scoping to rollout and adoption.

What you’ll own:

Own full-cycle HR support for employees across multiple countries, from pre-boarding and onboarding through day-to-day employee relations, contract changes, and offboarding.

Manage and coordinate with EOR (Employer of Record) and PEO providers across jurisdictions.

Act as the primary point of contact for employees and managers on HR policies, procedures, benefits, and general people questions in each market.

Lead or actively contribute to People automation and process-improvement projects (e.g., HRIS implementation/optimization, workflow automation, self-service tools, document generation), from scoping through rollout and adoption.

Maintain accurate, audit-ready employee records and HR data across systems and countries.

Continuously identify opportunities to standardize and automate recurring HR tasks and reduce manual work.

What makes you a strong fit:

3+ years of experience as a People Operations specialist, with demonstrated ownership of the full employee lifecycle.

Proven experience supporting employees across multiple countries and jurisdictions in a distributed or international company.

Hands-on experience working directly with EOR providers (e.g., Deel, Remote, Papaya Global, Oyster, Multiplier, or similar) — managing contracts, onboarding/offboarding, payroll coordination, and compliance issues.

Track record of leading or actively participating in HR process automation and digitalization projects (HRIS rollout, workflow tools, self-service portals, or similar).

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Proficiency with HRIS/HR tech tools (e.g., BambooHR, HiBob, Deel, Workday, or similar) and comfort with spreadsheets and automation tools.

What we offer:

Ownership and flexibility

Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 12:00 to 6:00 PM Manila time (UTC+8)

Company-provided tools and equipment

Health and time off
