• Recruiting processes: Build a structured hiring framework, including requisition approval, interview workflows, candidate evaluation, and offer management.
• Audit support: Prepare documentation and records for internal and external audits, and help establish practices that keep us audit-ready.
• ERP process design: Collaborate with our ERP build team to translate HR requirements into system workflows, data structures, and approval paths.

• Hands-on experience working with insurance brokers and administering benefits programs
• Strong working knowledge of employment law and HR compliance
• A track record of building HR processes and policies from scratch
