• Assist with internal HR reporting and ensure compliance with internal procedures and regulatory requirements.
• Navigate and manage manual processes while contributing to ongoing improvements.
• Work proactively and transparently to ensure minimal disruption during the team transition period.

Qualifications and Experience

• Minimum 5 years of HR generalist experience, ideally within a fast-paced and regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of HR operations, policies, and compliance requirements.
• Familiarity with payroll processes; ability to check or oversee if needed.
• Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills.
• Experience working with or supporting integration projects is a plus.

Ideal Characteristics

• Proactive and self-motivated with the ability to work independently.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Strong communicator who values transparency and collaboration.
• Able to build trust quickly within a close-knit team.
• Detail-oriented with a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.
