Process Execution & Global Coordination 

• Execute core HR processes across multiple regions by following established workflows and ensuring accuracy at each step. 

• Partner with the Global HR Operations team to support consistent, reliable process execution (e.g., onboarding, offboarding, changes, compliance updates). 

• Document process updates and improvements to enhance clarity, reduce errors, and support scalability. 

 

HR Systems & Record Management 

• Enter, update, and maintain employee data in HR systems with attention to accuracy and completeness. 

• Troubleshoot basic system questions from employees and escalate technical issues appropriately. 

• Support periodic HR system clean-ups and configuration updates in partnership with Global HR Operations. 

 

Benefits, Leave & Employee Relations Support 

• Assist employees with routine benefits questions and help navigate resources and self-service tools. 

• Coordinate leave-related documentation and communication in partnership with the Total Rewards team. 

• Provide first-level employee-relations support and escalate complex or manager-facing issues to HRBPs.

• Identify opportunities to improve HR processes, documentation clarity, and the overall employee experience. 

• Support global HR initiatives and operations projects led by the Global Head of HR Operations. 

• Collect and share feedback from employees to help continuously refine HR programs, tools, and workflows. 

 

Key Skills:

• High degree of accuracy in maintaining employee documentation and HR data. 

• Strong communication and customer-service orientation with the ability to build trust across cultures. 

• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail.
