Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Ecuadorian Compliance & Payroll: Fully manage Ecuador-related HR and payroll compliance, including strict coordination of statutory benefits, IESS, SRI-related documentation, employment contracts, and local minister-level labor requirements.
  

• Large-Scale Headcount Management: Oversee day-to-day HR operations, workforce planning, and organizational structures for large or fast-growing teams.
  

• Global Adaptability: Actively learn and adapt to the local labor practices of other international countries where TeamFicient operates to help align company-wide HR strategy.
  

• Employee Lifecycle: Manage employee onboarding, orientation, documentation, performance review cycles, and offboarding processes.
  

• Employee Relations: Serve as the key point of contact for employee relations, workplace concerns, policy guidance, and corrective action processes.
  

• Policy Optimization: Review, improve, and standardize remote HR policies, procedures, employee handbooks, templates, and workflows.
