HR Coordinator / Team Assistant

Job description / Role

We are seeking a motivated and multi-task orientated HR Coordinator / Team Assistant for our international investment client based in Dubai. The role will report directly into the HR Manager and support the wider team with all administrative tasks and employee queries. It is vital that you have a strong work ethic and be a team orientated individual as this is an extremely busy and heavily administrative role. Therefore candidates are required to be able to prioritise their own workload with ever changing deadlines.

This is a growing and highly stable firm, producing outstanding results in their sector. This is a particular busy period for the organisation as they have recently completed several acquisitions, and the HR Manager now manages over six countries and their teams and has international priorities, hence this role will focus particularly on the local office HR coordination and adhoc projects. The role will include administration of payroll and compensation and benefit packages and composing and issuing standard letters, such as salary certificates and employee requests. You will also be involved in recruitment processes and be the first point of contact for HR enquiries and questions and therefore, you must be able to manage these effectively and within the appropriate timescales given. There will also be overall responsibility for the maintenance of departmental records, including highly confidential information and assistance with HR reports. Additionally, there will be an element of administrative support to the investment team, as and when required.

To be successful in this role you should possess at least 2 years’ experience in a similar HR support function and be fully flexible to work across several disciplines. Those with HR qualifications are especially highly desirable, alongside strong knowledge of current UAE and regional labour laws.
Strong MS Office skills and English spoken and written skills to native standard are required.

This is a fantastic environment where a strong work ethic and a can-do attitude are required to assist this very busy HR Manager. However, as a consummate HR professional, you will have a strong mentor to guide and support your HR career aspirations.
