People Operations & Compliance Specialist (Based in Manila)

About this role

Get-e is looking for an experienced People Operations & Compliance Specialist to help build reliable people operations for our Manila hub.

• Manage employee benefits, perks, and expense reimbursements in line with approved policies.

• Maintain Philippine employment-compliance records and deadlines; support employee-relations case preparation and Get-e’s engagement with DOLE when needed.

• Localize global PCO policies, document practical people processes, and identify improvements for the Manila hub.
