HR Support Desk Assistant

As an "HR Support Desk Assistant" in our Shared Services Team, you will be part of the HR team based in our Dubai office in JAFZA and deliver HR services to all our colleagues in the Middle East and Asia. We support our projects and offices with all HR operational related activities. We arrange everything on an administrative/system level as well as answer all kinds of questions to ensure our employees have an unforgettable employee experience.

Your Workplace

As a member of our team, you will work closely with our local HR team of 6 colleagues, and together we service around 500 colleagues in our region.
