Looking for an HR Manager job in Colombia that’s full-time, 100% on-site, and puts you in charge of HR for an entire site backed by a global team? This is your chance to run Human Resources end to end in a 24/7 operation, working in English every day with international leadership. If you’ve led HR before and know Colombian labor law inside out, this role is for you.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Full-time hours, 100% in the office: you’ll work entirely from our Colombia site, with no remote work.
- Real ownership: you’ll lead HR for the site and partner with the global HR team.
- A modern office with a spacious lounge where you can relax during the day.
- Annual performance reviews to track your progress and plan your growth.
- Room to be creative and innovative: we welcome new ideas.
- A team of ambitious, talented people from diverse backgrounds who keep learning and improving.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY
- You’ll lead HR for the Colombia site and work with the global team on policy, employee relations and performance management.
- You’ll spot risks and gaps, then put plans in place: high-potential identification, succession planning, performance calibration, engagement, recognition, rewards, talent pipeline and new-hire integration.
- You’ll run full-cycle, high-volume hiring: setting criteria with hiring managers, posting job ads on multiple portals, screening resumes, running phone screens and interviews, organizing tests, running background checks and taking part in job fairs.
- You’ll be the go-to person for teammates’ questions, concerns and conflicts, and you’ll investigate each case and recommend the right action.
- You’ll manage attendance, sick leave (incapacidades), vacations and other absences in line with company SOPs and local law. You’ll also lead the performance review process and handle offboarding, including exit interviews, coordination with other departments, and analysis with recommendations.
- You’ll write, update and roll out HR SOPs and policies for the site, adapting corporate practices to local needs.
- You’ll keep HR practices compliant with Colombian labor law and keep leadership informed as regulations change.
- You’ll keep the ATS and HRIS accurate, build standard reports, and work with each business unit’s managers to plan workforce needs.
