  • Maintain internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and timelines for cyclical HR work (e.g., performance review periods, salary adjustments, reappointment processes).
  • Run and maintain compliance tracking reports (e.g., trainings, onboarding status, exit interviews, I-9 / rechecks).
  • Coordinate periodic HR process audits and flag gaps or areas for improvement.
  • Manage and refine internal HR dashboards to give real-time visibility into trends or key priorities.
  • Other duties as assigned.

    • Collaboration & System Governance :
