Imagine a world without borders, where opportunities are endless. That's the future of work, and what we are building at WorkMotion. Our remote-first team spans the world, helping companies hire, onboard, and manage talent internationally through smart, flexible workforce solutions. Fast-paced, people-driven, and globally connected, we empower businesses to build teams without borders.\nMore Than a Role\nWe don't just need an HR Operations Manager, we need a builder. We're looking for someone who gets their energy from turning a brand-new legal entity into a working employer, while keeping a sharp, analytical focus on how their work delivers real business impact.\nThis isn't a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You'll be at the center of it all, taking new entities in your cluster from licence to first payroll and then owning their HR compliance. You'll run up to four country builds at the same time, ensuring everything you touch is compliant, well documented and ready to scale, and aligned with our wider goals. Your cluster covers the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand, with Singapore as backup.\nYou won't be a solo operator. You'll collaborate with our Operations, Infrastructure, Legal, Payroll and Customer Success teams, and with local benefits, insurance and HR providers, bringing everything together to ensure consistency, impact, and momentum across the board.\nWhere Responsibility Meets Real Opportunity…\nShape the HR side of each new entity from kick-off: give Infrastructure and Legal the HR inputs a licence needs, flag operating model risks early, and plan the HR build against the go-live date.\n\nGet every employer registration live with Payroll, including social security, tax, pension, health and work injury insurance.\n\nBuild local-language contract templates with Legal, file work rules, handbooks and mandatory policies, and contract benefits, insurance and occupational health providers.\n\nLead go-live: run the final readiness check and check the first onboardings and first payroll line by line.\n\nOwn each live entity's HR compliance (compliance calendar, filings, audits, law changes) and handle day-to-day HR Operations for your cluster.\n\nWrite and maintain process documentation, including external articles in cooperation with our Knowledge team.\n\nWhat It Takes to Make an Impact Here…\n5+ years in HR operations or HR compliance across several countries (EOR, PEO, global mobility, shared services or a multinational), including opening a Philippine employer (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, DO 174) and working knowledge of Australian awards, superannuation including Payday Super, state workers' compensation, the NZ Holidays Act, and Singapore CPF and work passes.\n\nProven experience moving employees between employers, including seniority, leave and severance cost.\n\nYou turn a legal opinion into a working process and know when to escalate.\n\nYou manage payroll, benefits and immigration vendors and run three country projects in parallel with a clear plan.\n\nYou write clear, practical process guides.\n\nFluent English (C1).\n\nBonus Points If You Bring…\nEOR or staffing industry background, or experience with labour leasing or dispatch licences.\n\nPayroll knowledge (gross to net, statutory filings) and hands-on work permit and visa experience.\n\nJira, Confluence, an HRIS and no-code automation tools, plus experience working remotely across time zones.\n\nHR experience in Indonesia, Vietnam or Thailand.\n\nNot Your Typical Team…\nWe are a team of 6 highly talented Operational Excellence minds, who are based in Egypt, Italy, India, Germany, Lebanon and Portugal. We're a motivated, fully distributed crew that proves \"remote\" doesn't mean \"disconnected.\"\nWe don't just \"work\" together. We create, challenge, and grow together. If you're looking for an environment where your ideas are welcomed, your voice is heard, and bold strategies thrive on collective brainpower and high-energy teamwork, you'll feel right at home.\nThe Perks of Being Here…\nGlobal, remote, and thriving: We're a global team of talented individuals spread across 26 countries. Our WorkFlex program lets you work from anywhere, anytime. Whether it's a beachside office or a cosy home office, the choice is yours.\n\nYour well-being is our priority: We know mental health matters, which is why we offer a dedicated Well-Being Day, a full day off just to recharge and relax.\n\nGet fit and stay active: Whether it's yoga, weightlifting, or a quick jog, work out on your terms, at a discount with our subsidised gym memberships.\n\nLearn, grow, and develop: We believe in constant growth. With our Training & Development Allowance, you'll have all the opportunities you need to keep expanding your skills and knowledge.\n\nStay connected: Take part in exciting annual team meetups!\n\nDiversity is our superpower: We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer, committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.\n\nBenefits vary depending on location due to local laws and regulations.\nAt WorkMotion, we're proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
