• Ensure compliance with labor laws and employment regulations; maintain data accuracy and integrity across HR systems.
• Prepare and manage employment contracts, mobility processes, and onboarding activities for expatriate, local, and foreign national employees; coordinate with internal stakeholders and GRO on government requirements.
• Lead and develop Qatar-based HR Operations staff and Government Relations Officers, ensuring strong service delivery and regulatory compliance.
• Develop and maintain HR operations metrics and dashboards, providing insights to drive decision-making and continuous improvement.
• Oversee total rewards operations, including benefits, compensation, and payroll activities, ensuring compliance and consistency with company policies.
• Lead talent acquisition operational support, including documentation, medical and security processing, insurance coordination, and payroll setup; drive improvements to elevate candidate and employee experiences.
