Job Description About The Opportunity: Join our APAC People Services Team as a People Services Specialist, where you'll play a key role in managing end-to-end Hong Kong People Operations activities that require local regulatory knowledge, physical presence, and system access.

You will operate within established guidelines while continuously building your expertise in Hong Kong Employment Ordinance, MPF regulations, and IRD requirements.

Support mid-year and year-end salary review administration including HRIS updates, letter preparation, and mass upload coordination. Data Management & HR Administration: Perform employee data updates in Workday and maintain accurate P-files and personnel records in Google Drive. Prepare and issue employee-requested letters (employment verification, bank account, salary proof, embassy letters) obtaining Head of People wet signature where required. Process internal transfers, promotions, contract conversions, cost centre changes, and contract expiry follow-ups in Workday before monthly payroll cut-off. Expat Management & Visa Administration: Support employment visa applications and extensions for non-local employees — coordinating online submission, preparing extension letters, and obtaining Head of People wet signature. Track visa and passport expiry dates for all expat employees and initiate renewal reminders at least two months prior to expiry. Coordinate HKID application, payroll bank account opening, and accommodation support for expat new arrivals. Offboarding & Exit Management: Manage end-to-end offboarding for voluntary and involuntary leavers — including resignation acknowledgement, leave report generation, exit follow-up, and final payment coordination. Coordinate the Hong Kong tax clearance process (IR56G preparation, IRD submission, withholding of final payment until Letter of Release is received) for leavers departing the city. Terminate leavers' medical insurance, MPF, corporate accounts, and Workday records before or on the last working day. Continuous Improvement & General Support: Handle general HR queries from employees and managers, escalating complex cases to the People Partner or APS Lead as appropriate. Raise and manage Jira tickets for backend system changes; stay informed of Hong Kong employment law and regulatory updates.

Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage high-volume transactional work accurately and within deadlines. Customer-centric mindset with a strong focus on employee experience. Ability to work independently, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — able to coordinate effectively with employees, HR partners, and cross-functional teams. Tech-savvy, with experience in HRIS (Workday preferred), Jira, and Confluence being a plus. Highly adaptable, proactive, and a team player with a strong sense of ownership. Comfortable working onsite in the Hong Kong office and collaborating with regional teams. Additional Information What We Offer A dynamic and challenging work environment.
