Description
In the last year at Loka, our teams have helped clients advance the world's #1 AI reading tutor, eliminate $1B in food waste and develop novel drugs for fighting cancer. To cap it off, at the end of 2024 Loka was recognized by AWS as Innovation Partner of the Year, outshining 150,000 partners for the title. And we did it all while enjoying every other Friday off 😎.
Our Skopje office is one of our largest hubs, 100+ Lokals strong and growing toward 130+. As Senior HX Ops, you won't just execute HR processes, you'll own how they work, where they break and how to make them more reliable as the team scales. This is a hands-on, full-ownership role for someone who wants to build systems, not just run through checklists.
You'll be the person who makes sure every Lokal in MK has a smooth onboarding, understands their benefits, knows the policies that apply to them and works in an office that genuinely runs well. You'll be in the building every day, present and approachable, and one of the key pillars of what makes the MK office a place people want to be. We're looking for a trusted partner who understands what people actually need and can explain trade-offs clearly when the answer isn't simple.
Key Responsibilities
Onboarding & Offboarding
Own pre-onboarding logistics and day-one readiness: equipment, system access, contracts.
Run the offboarding process end to end: documentation, equipment returns, access removal and compliance with local legal requirements.
Compliance, Legal & Internal Policy
Ensure the MK office operates in full compliance with North Macedonian employment law, workplace health and safety legislation and labor regulations, managing contracts, annexes and documentation accordingly.
Own compliance with Loka's internal policies for the MK team, not just applying the rules but making sure people understand them and flagging gaps between policy and reality.
Spot compliance risks before they escalate and resolve them directly or route them to the right person.
Contribute to policy evolution based on what you see in day-to-day MK operations.
Benefits Administration
Manage benefits for MK-based employees: health insurance, PTO tracking, local allowances and more, with accuracy, timely processing and clear communication.
Be the first point of contact for benefits questions and set clear expectations on coverage and timelines.
Coordinate with vendors and the global HX team to keep MK benefits competitive, compliant and well understood.
Contract Management
Manage employment contracts for the MK team and own the full contract lifecycle for changes.
Maintain an auditable record of all contractual documentation.
L&D Administration
Coordinate L&D logistics for the MK office: training schedules, vendor bookings, attendance tracking and communication to employees and managers.
Track learning spend and flag budget implications, making sure L&D commitments are followed through.
Office Management
Run the Skopje office day to day: space, supplies, equipment logistics, vendor relationships, facilities and invoices.
Own the culture and environment of the office, staying present, approachable and proactive about making it a place people want to be.
Design office management processes that are auditable and scale with the team.
Be the on-the-ground contact for office incidents (maintenance, access, safety) and resolve them with autonomy.
Travel & Events Logistics
Manage travel logistics for MK-based employees: flights, accommodation, expenses and policy compliance.
Own in-office event logistics, from team celebrations to external visitor coordination: space, catering, vendor bookings and setup.
Qualifications
4+ years of experience in HR Operations, People Ops or an equivalent operational HR role with end-to-end ownership.
Demonstrated experience across several core domains: onboarding/offboarding, compliance
