People Operations & Compliance Specialist (Based in Manila)

Your job

Get-e is looking for an experienced People Operations & Compliance Specialist to help build reliable people operations for our Manila hub.
You will manage the core employee journey, from recruitment and onboarding through to attendance, payroll administration, benefits, compliance, and offboarding. You will work closely with Manila leaders and the People, Culture & Organisation (PCO) team in the Netherlands.
PCO retains global policy ownership. You will localize and implement those policies for the Philippines, making sure they meet local requirements and work in practice for the Manila team.

Key responsibilities

• Manage recruitment operations from approved vacancy to offer, including candidate screening, interview coordination, assessments, reference checks, and accurate ATS records.
• Run smooth onboarding and offboarding processes, including employment documents, probation milestones, system-access coordination, employee records, exit clearances, and final-pay inputs.
• Maintain accurate HRIS records, 201 files, leave data, attendance records, and payroll documentation.
• Administer timekeeping and payroll processes, validate payroll inputs, and resolve exceptions accurately and on time.
• Manage employee benefits, perks, and expense reimbursements in line with approved policies.
• Maintain Philippine employment-compliance records and deadlines; support employee-relations case preparation and Get-e’s engagement with DOLE when needed.
• Localize global PCO policies, document practical people processes, and identify improvements for the Manila hub.

What success looks like

• Recruitment processes move quickly and candidates have a professional, well-organized experience.
• Employees have complete records, smooth onboarding and offboarding, and clear support with attendance, benefits, and people queries.
• Payroll, statutory-compliance, and employee-lifecycle deadlines are accurate, documented, and never missed.

Your profile

• Help shape the people operations foundation for a growing Manila hub.
• Work closely with an international team and colleagues in the Netherlands.
• Travel expense and parking reimbursement.
• Use Get-e’s cab service twice a year yourself, anywhere in the world.
• Free snacks and refreshments from the pantry.
• 15 vacation days each year on top of 15 sick-leave days.
• Hybrid working model with two days from home, plus the option to work two weeks from abroad.

Essential

• At least 5 years of relevant HR or People Operations experience.
• Hands-on experience with full-cycle recruitment, onboarding, employee records, and offboarding.
• Practical knowledge of Philippine employment administration, statutory contributions, timekeeping, and payroll processes.
• Experience using an HRIS or ATS, spreadsheets, and structured operational reporting.
• Ability to handle confidential employee information appropriately and communicate sensitive issues clearly.
• Strong written and spoken English, with experience working across teams or time zones.

Nice to have

• Experience with Personio, biometric attendance systems, or shift-based operations.
