HR Assistant

You'll get hands-on experience across the full employee lifecycle and take ownership of the day-to-day HR work: onboarding and offboarding, employee documentation, HR systems, performance reviews, employee requests, internal communication, and office operations. You don't need to know everything from day one - what matters most is curiosity, responsibility, empathy, and a strong desire to learn and grow.

As you gain experience and demonstrate that you can independently manage processes and people-related challenges, your scope will grow as well - with a clear perspective to move into an HR Manager and HRBP role.
