Requirements

• Strong written communication skills with the ability to convey information clearly and concisely.
• Resourceful problem-solver who can navigate ambiguity and find solutions independently.
• Comfortable handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion and professionalism.

• Opportunity to work across both People Operations and recruiting functions.
• Exposure to global teams and international hiring processes.
