HR Manager

As HR Manager, you are the operational and human backbone of the Dubai Hub. You own two things at once: flawless compliance with UAE employment and PRO processes, and a workplace where people feel supported, connected, and genuinely glad to be part of the team.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You make sure not a single document is overdue and not a single compliance deadline is missed — while also being the warm, trusted HR presence people turn to. You navigate UAE bureaucracy with persistence, run team rituals and events that build belonging, and keep the Hub's people operations running quietly and reliably.

• Support MOHRE labour inspections and safeguard original employee documents
• Track UAE labour law updates and keep the team informed

Employee Experience & Engagement
