Supporting immigration administration (JAFZA or mainland portal experience valued)
Coordinating with people services teams and third-party providers
Preparing HR reports, presentations & org charts
Contributing to HR transformation initiatives — exposure to Power BI / digital tools is a bonus
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's degree in HR or related field
6+ years of HR experience in a large multinational company
Experience working within JAFZA or with mainland immigration portals
Analytically minded — able to solve complex HR problems independently
Proficiency in MS Office suite & HRMS platforms (Workday preferred)
Excellent English communication skills, written & verbal
Comfortable working in a matrixed, multicultural environment
Immediate availability preferred
