About AlphaMind
AlphaMind is a Dubai-based hospitality group behind some of the region’s most talked-about restaurant, bar, and lifestyle concepts. We create venues people remember, and that starts with the people who run them. Our teams are diverse, fast-moving, and passionate about service. Behind them is a central support office that keeps everything running smoothly.
We’re looking for a hands-on HR Executive to look after three of our concepts: Be Babel, Son of a Fish, and Le Relais de l'Entrecôte.
How the role works
This is a hybrid venue-and-office role, designed so you’re close to the teams you support:
- 1 day a week at each venue (Be Babel, Son of a Fish, Entrecôte): meeting managers and staff, handling employee queries, and being the visible face of HR on the floor
- 2 days a week at Head Office: payroll processing, documentation, reporting, and working with the wider HR team
What you’ll do

- Prepare monthly payroll for the three venues, including attendance, overtime, service charge/tips, deductions, and adjustments
- Ensure WPS compliance and accurate payroll records
- Maintain employee files, contracts, and HR systems
Onboarding & Induction

Offboarding
- Handle resignations, terminations, and end-of-contract processes
- Calculate final settlements and gratuity in line with UAE Labour Law
- Coordinate visa cancellations, clearances, and exit interviews
Employee Relations & Discipline

- Manage disciplinary processes: investigations, hearings, warning letters, and documentation
- Ensure fair, consistent, and compliant handling of all cases
General HR Support
- Act as the first point of contact for staff and managers at your venues
- Track leave, probation reviews, and visa renewals
- Support HR projects and initiatives across the group
What we’re looking for
- 3-5 years of HR experience, ideally in hospitality, F&B, or another multi-site environment
- Hands-on payroll experience in the UAE, including WPS and end-of-service calculations
- Solid working knowledge of UAE Labour Law
- Confident handling disciplinary and employee relations cases
- Organised and detail-oriented, able to juggle multiple venues and deadlines
