HR Generalist

The HR Generalist is a key partner within the People & Culture team, ensuring smooth HR operations while also driving initiatives that enhance the employee experience. This role goes beyond administration – it requires ownership, independent decision-making, and proactive involvement in HR processes and projects across the employee lifecycle.

The HR Generalist is expected to act with autonomy, provide guidance to employees and managers, and take responsibility for ensuring that HR practices are both compliant and aligned with the company culture and strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Employee Lifecycle Management
• Own and manage the end-to-end employee lifecycle (onboarding, probation, changes, off-boarding) with full accountability for accuracy and timeliness.
• Advise managers and employees on HR policies, procedures, and best practices, using judgment to resolve issues independently where appropriate.
• Ensure compliance with labor legislation and company policies, escalating complex cases when needed. 
• Policy & Compliance
• Take ownership for reviewing, updating, and maintaining HR policies, ensuring they are up-to-date and communicated effectively.
• Provide first-line guidance and make decisions on policy interpretation, escalating only exceptions or highly complex issues.
• HR Projects & Initiatives
• Lead or co-lead HR projects (policy review, engagement initiatives, onboarding/offboarding, etc.), ensuring deliverables are met within deadlines.
• Act as project owner in assigned initiatives – setting timelines, coordinating stakeholders, and reporting outcomes to the Management.
• Data, Reporting & Insights
• Oversee accuracy of employee data in the HRIS, ensuring integrity and consistency.
• Produce regular HR metrics and reports (turnover, headcount, absence, etc.) and proactively suggest improvements based on insights.
• Employee Support
• Serve as the primary point of contact for employee and manager queries, resolving the majority independently.
• Provide coaching and guidance to managers on routine employee relations issues.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources Management, Business Administration, or related field.
• 3–4 years of HR experience, including exposure to multiple HR functions (operations, employee relations, policies, benefits).
• Proven ability to manage tasks with autonomy and accountability.
• Strong decision-making skills and ability to balance compliance with business needs.
• Proficiency in HRIS systems, Google Suite, and advanced Excel.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver results with minimal supervision.
