• Ability to explain payroll and compliance topics clearly to employees, managers, and leadership 

• Generalist HR knowledge. Comfortable moving between compliance, operations, and people matters 

• A process improvement mindset, you look for ways to make things work better, not just keep them running 

• Prior experience in a consulting or professional services environment is highly desirable 

• Prior experience working in international teams and with senior stakeholders is highly desirable 

  

What We Offer 

• A clearly defined area of expertise with genuine room to grow into a broader HR remit over time
