Overview.ai is an AI computer vision company deploying GPU-powered cameras and edge inference systems on manufacturing production lines globally. The company is scaling rapidly across North America, APAC, and Europe, and needs to build a world-class HR function to support this growth.
You will lead global HR operations and compliance as a hands-on manager, reporting to the Head of Global Recruiting. This is a high-impact role with direct ownership of HR infrastructure across multiple countries. You will manage 1-2 direct reports focused on China and Taiwan operations, with 15-40% travel depending on location (15% if based near San Francisco HQ on hybrid schedule).
Key responsibilities include:
- Diagnosing and closing compliance gaps across all countries of operation (North America, APAC, Europe)
- Owning HR for the China team, including day-to-day execution with your Shanghai HR & Admin Manager direct report
- Designing and building scalable HR processes for onboarding, offboarding, contracts, leave management, payroll inputs, and performance management across countries
- Developing a global policy framework and handbook with country-specific addenda
- Supporting international expansion, including entity vs. EOR decisions and employment setup
- Serving as the primary resource for managers on employee relations, performance issues, and policy questions
- Maintaining accurate, reportable, and audit-ready employee data, contracts, and records
- Managing relationships with EOR, payroll, benefits, and employment counsel vendors
This role offers the opportunity to build HR infrastructure from the ground up rather than inherit existing systems, with leverage across multiple countries and every new hire. You will have high autonomy, direct access to leadership, and a seat shaping how the company scales.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years in HR with hands-on ownership of compliance and HR operations
- Direct China HR experience, including labor contracts, social insurance and housing fund, and local labor law
- Global HR compliance experience across multiple countries, including employment law, contracts, and statutory benefits
- US HR compliance across federal and multi-state requirements
- Demonstrated ability to build HR processes or programs from scratch at a scaling company
- Hands-on executor mindset, not advisory-only
- Ability to work effectively across time zones with teams in Asia and Europe
STRONG PREFERENCES:
- HR experience across APAC beyond China (Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, Korea)
- EMEA HR compliance experience
- Experience with EOR and PEO models and entity setup decisions
- Mandarin proficiency
- Background in manufacturing, hardware, or companies with employees deployed on customer sites
