What Makes You a Great Fit

We are seeking an experienced HR Specialist to deliver seamless, compliant onboarding, offboarding, and ongoing HR operations for enterprise clients and supported employees across Latin America. This role owns an assigned portfolio of work end to end, coordinates cross-functional dependencies, and helps ensure strategic customer launches are accurate, timely, and well managed. The ideal candidate combines LATAM employment-law knowledge and customer focus with sound judgment and technical fluency across HRIS integrations, APIs, spreadsheets, and reporting. They communicate clearly and use data and feedback to solve problems and improve the employee and client experience. This is a hybrid role based in Medellín, Colombia, and only candidates who currently reside in Medellín will be considered.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Own end-to-end onboarding, offboarding, and ongoing operational delivery for an assigned portfolio of enterprise clients and supported employees, supporting successful launches and efficient operations as customers grow.

• Create and manage onboarding plans, timelines, milestones, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations; communicate progress, risks, and next steps clearly.

• Partner with Product, Sales, Payroll, Legal, Support, Immigration, Client Services, and external providers to resolve operational challenges and deliver timely, accurate, and compliant outcomes.

• Provide accurate, customer-focused support to clients and employees on benefits, international payroll, expense reporting, employment documentation, and other HR matters.

• Apply employment and labor laws across LATAM countries, relevant collective agreements, internal policies, and operating responsibilities; identify compliance gaps and coordinate corrective action.

• Track onboarding timelines, case status, resolution-time SLAs, and service quality while building trusted relationships and maintaining a high-quality experience in increasingly complex environments.

• Use advanced spreadsheets, reporting, data validation, and dashboard analysis to identify trends, reconcile issues, diagnose root causes, and improve accuracy, response times, and experience.

• Build product and workflow expertise; troubleshoot HR systems integrations, APIs, data mapping, synchronization, and access issues with Product or Engineering; and contribute to automation and scalable process improvements.

• Investigate and resolve issues, collaborate with the appropriate teams, and retain ownership through completion; share regional expertise and assist with peer and new-hire training.
