We are looking for a hands-on HR & Workforce Executive who can build and manage our people and vendor ecosystem as we scale from our current portfolio towards 100+ managed properties.

This is not a purely desk-based HR role. The ideal candidate should be comfortable with recruitment, blue-collar workforce management, vendor coordination, attendance, payroll inputs, employee retention and day-to-day HR operations.

- Prepare payroll inputs for Finance.
- Track overtime,



incentives, deductions and approved reimbursements.
- Coordinate payroll queries and discrepancies.

The HR Executive should be able to answer:

How many people do we need, where do we need them, when do we need them, and how quickly can we hire them?”
