  5. Communicating information regarding policies and standards on assigned processes to internal customers in a clear and concise manner to ensure understanding and adoption
  6. Preparing accurate reports and documents for internal customers and external authorities
  7. Ensuring that all systems and databases remain up to date with current employee and organizational information, maintaining a high level of data quality and accuracy and providing on-demand reports where required
Qualifications for the role

  1. B. Sc. or M.Sc. level degree from a relevant field, e.g. Economics or Administration, recent or soon to be graduates can be considered
  2. Understanding of HR practices and processes
  3. Passion for problem solving with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously within set schedules
  4. Previous experience in HR related tasks or a high motivation towards the field
  5. Knowledge of Technology Industry Collective Bargaining Agreements
  6. Knowledge of SAP HR, JotBar, Workday and/or MS Office
  7. A collaborative, solutions-oriented approach to work with and strong communication skills
