• Serve as a key point of contact for employees and managers on HR-related queries. You will manage core operational tasks including onboarding and offboarding, contract management, probation reviews, and performance cycle support.
• Uphold a best-in-class candidate experience that is professional, authentic, and reflective of the Hypebeast brand. Ensure every candidate, regardless of the outcome, has a positive interaction.
