People Operations Assistant to join our team in Davao.
As People Operations Assistant, you will own the day-to-day engine that keeps our people operations and workplace running without friction.

This role is designed for someone who thinks in systems, communicates with clarity, and takes genuine pride in execution. You'll work closely with the HRBP for 70% of your people responsibilities and the Location Manager for 30% of your administrative responsibilities - to deliver a consistent, professional, and people and admin quality support.
