The Senior HR Specialist is a pivotal, standalone role responsible for the full spectrum of Human Resources at Bekia. You will own recruitment end-to-end, act as the company's primary liaison with the legal office, social insurance authority, and labor law office, oversee performance management, drive daily HR operations, and champion a vibrant, purpose-led culture. This is a builder's role — you will set up systems, not just maintain them.

- Facilitate calibration sessions and ensure fair, consistent rating practices.
- Identify performance gaps and coordinate training & development interventions accordingly.
- Manage PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) processes when required.
4. Daily HR Operations
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records, contracts, and HR files (physical and digital).
- Oversee attendance, leave management, and payroll inputs — coordinating with finance for accurate monthly payroll processing.
- Manage employee lifecycle transactions: promotions, transfers, salary adjustments, and offboarding.
- Administer employee benefits: medical insurance, social insurance, and any company-specific perks.
- Act as the first point of contact for employee queries on HR policies, entitlements, and procedures.
- Draft and update HR policies, the employee handbook, and internal HR communications.
5. Employee Engagement & Culture
- Champion Bekia's mission-driven culture — embedding sustainability and impact values into every HR touchpoint.
