With a workforce spanning Brazil, Canada, India, Israel, Philippines, South Africa, and the United States, this role manages the full HR lifecycle across all entities.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic HR Support

• Workforce Planning: Partner with executive leaders to translate business strategy into org structures and capability roadmaps.

Employee Engagement & Culture

• Retention: Lead engagement measurement (surveys, listening sessions) and drive interventions to improve morale and retention.
• Cohesion: Act as a cultural ambassador, strengthening cross-entity cohesion despite geographic and cultural distances.

Learning & Development

• Upskilling: Identify training needs and coordinate opportunities for skill-building and career growth.
• Succession: Build and maintain succession plans for critical roles across all global entities.

HR Operations & Compliance

• Global Governance: Own harmonized HR policies and build repeatable, auditable processes for cross-border payroll, onboarding, and offboarding.
• Compliance: Ensure strict adherence to employment laws across all jurisdictions and industry standards.
• Employee Relations: Coach managers on performance conversations and manage ER cases (grievances, disciplinaries) with procedural rigor specific to each country.
• Tech Stack: Own the HRIS, ATS, and performance tools, ensuring 100% data integrity for headcount and people-cost records.

Work Requirements

• 100% Remote: Work from anywhere.
• Equipment: Must have a personal computer and essential workstation equipment.
• Connectivity: Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet, professional work environment.
• Resiliency: Load-shedding backup (if applicable to your region) is required to ensure consistent uptime.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or a related field (Honors degree advantageous).
• Experience: 3–5 years of HR experience, with at least 3 years in an HRBP or strategic role.
• Jurisdiction Knowledge: Demonstrated experience across multiple jurisdictions (minimum two of: South Africa, Philippines, Canada, United States).
• Skills: Strong influence and communication skills; ability to manage multiple priorities in a high-growth environment.
• Mindset: Proactive, solutions-oriented, and comfortable working independently in a remote setting.

Preferred:

• Professional HR certification (e.g., SHRM, CIPD, SABPP).
• Experience in a multi-entity or holding-company structure.
• Exposure to BPO, services, or distributed workforce models.
• Familiarity with Asana, QuickBooks, and modern HRIS platforms.
