• Collaborating with the EoR HR Specialist, People and Culture department, and HR consultancy and advisory services to provide HR support – including conflict resolution, performance management, and contractual advice.
• Managing confidential employee records, drafting and revising contracts in compliance with local laws, handling employment contract queries, and overseeing contract-related communications and escalations.
