• Conduct compensation benchmarking and market surveys to ensure competitiveness and internal equity.

• Prepare salary review proposals, adjustments, and reporting for leadership and approval processes.

• Administer employee benefits programs including medical, insurance, retirement, leave, and allowances.

• Liaise with external benefits providers and handle employee queries related to compensation and benefits.

• Ensure compliance with statutory requirements, labor laws, and internal policies across compensation and benefits.

• Maintain accurate records and prepare reports to support audits, management review, and people analytics.

• Support HR projects and initiatives related to rewards, policy updates, and scaling people systems.

What You Will Need

• Experience in compensation & benefits, total rewards, or HR roles with strong C&B exposure.

• Solid understanding of local labor laws, statutory contributions, tax regulations, and benefits administration.

• Strong analytical skills with attention to detail and comfort working with data, benchmarks, and reports.

• Experience working with HRIS systems and spreadsheets.

• Clear communication skills and confidence handling employee-facing queries.

• A practical, execution-oriented mindset—focused on getting details right and improving systems over time.

(Experience with regional or international compensation frameworks is a strong advantage, but not mandatory.)
