About the Role

We're building a high-performing HR & Admin triathlon team — and we need a strong all-rounder who can swim through challenges, cycle through processes, and sprint toward solutions. If you've got solid HR & Admin experience, know your way around Malaysian labor laws (especially the Employment Act 1955), and love creating a workplace where people feel empowered — we want you in our race. Expect variety, impact, and a chance to grow with a team that values your endurance, agility, and leadership.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Help shape policies that keep us compliant, competitive, and future-ready.
  • Champion the employee experience from onboarding to offboarding.

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding

  • Support recruitment efforts — from sourcing to onboarding — like prepping athletes for race day.
  • Ensure new hires feel welcomed, informed, and ready to dive into their roles.

Employee & Industrial Relations (ER/IR)

  • Navigate disciplinary matters and domestic inquiries with clarity and confidence.
  • Be the calm in the storm — managing employee relations and liaising with external parties when needed.

Performance Management

  • Coordinate performance review cycles and help managers track progress.
  • Align individual goals with company objectives — pacing runners toward the finish line.

Benefits Administration

  • Manage employee benefits, claims, leave, and wellness programs.
  • Keep our offerings relevant and supportive of team well-being.

Learning & Development (L&D)

  • Assist in identifying training needs and rolling out development programs.
  • Support leadership development and succession planning — because every great team needs future captains.

People & Culture

  • Drive engagement, wellness, and inclusion initiatives.
  • Be a culture ambassador — encouraging team spirit and a sense of belonging.

Compliance & Legal

  • Ensure HR practices comply with Malaysian labor laws, especially the Employment Act 1955.
  • Keep documentation and policies up to date and audit-ready.

General Administration

  • Support office operations, vendor coordination, and facility needs — like managing the support crew behind the scenes.
  • Assist with travel, meetings, and company events that keep our team connected and energized.

Ad Hoc Projects

  • Be ready to jump into new challenges and support cross-functional projects — because every race has its surprises.

What You Bring to the Team

  • Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Admin, Law, or related field.
  • 3–5 years of experience in HR & Admin, preferably in a fast-paced environment.

  • Experience in ER/IR, L&D, Expat hiring and culture-building initiatives.
  • Excellent communication and people skills.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and HRIS systems.
