REQUIREMENTS: - 6–10 years of experience in People Operations, HR Operations, or generalist HR roles, with meaningful ownership and hands-on experience of core HR processes (not purely advisory) - Demonstrated experience building or significantly improving HR processes and systems, ideally within a startup, scale-up, fintech, financial services, or similarly fast-moving organization - Experience supporting a multi-country and multi-entity workforce, with understanding of operational complexities of employment across different jurisdictions - Strong experience with HRIS platforms, payroll administration, employee data management, and HR process automation - Experience managing onboarding, offboarding, employment documentation, policies, and employee relations - Comfortable working independently with high degree of ownership, including identifying gaps and implementing solutions without requiring highly developed existing processes
