Team

The People Solutions team serves as the strategic engine room of Raisin’s People & Culture team by building a secure, data-driven, and compliant infrastructure that scales the organization. By bridging the gap between strategy and technology, the team optimizes HRIS systems to eliminate manual work, leverages analytics and AI to drive smarter business decisions, and acts as a compliance anchor managing audits, policies, and risk.

• You align closely with the People and Culture leadership and conduct regular spot-checks and internal mini-audits to ensure teams are executing People processes strictly according to documented standards.
• You serve as the primary point of contact for all internal, external, and third-party People audits and governance-related reporting requests.
• You manage and fulfill documentation requests from external supervisory bodies, labor ministries, and regulatory agencies.
