- Drive proactive recruiting initiatives and help build the Flexport employer brand across the region.
- Communicate candidate pipelines, funnel metrics, and performance data clearly and regularly to internal stakeholders.
- Serve as the local representative of the APAC People team, enhancing employee experience across the full lifecycle from onboarding to offboarding.
- Lead local HR operations including data management, employee support, reporting and analytics, process improvement, payroll support, and policy development.
- Maintain accurate HRIS data in Workday, run audits, and resolve employee tickets.
- Leverage AI-powered tools to automate repetitive HR tasks, source and screen candidates faster, and surface insights from people data.
- Act as the local expert on HR policy and ensure HR compliance across the region.
- Take on additional projects from the global and regional People leadership team as needed.
