About the role 

We are currently on the lookout for a People & Talent Manager to join our Hong Kong office, to take care of our teams in Hong Kong and in our brand-new office in Shanghai. We are 40 people in Hong Kong and plan to have 30 people as well in Shanghai within 3 years. We are in an exciting growth period!

You will have 3 main focuses in this role:

·         Attracting top talents

We are growing rapidly and so you will be critical to our recruitment strategy by partnering with the Hong Kong Managing Director and the leadership team to construct our headcount plan, define the best sourcing strategy and support the team to animate the recruitment process. You will manage Ekimetrics employer brand strategy and actions in HK as well as our school relationships.

·         Engaging top talent

Once they are onboard, you will be supporting our team on their Eki journey, be it through career development, wellbeing, engaging & guiding our management team in their role as people managers, performance reviews, or Eki life and culture activities.

·         Professionalizing HR operations

This means getting the basics right, ensuring we are compliant and following best practices with regards to the People function, employment law, and our policies, and giving our team a frictionless experience with HR elements.

In other words, you are key to making sure Ekimetrics is a great place to work by being involved in a consultant’s full employee lifecycle, from the day they apply for a role with us through to the day they decide to leave.

This will require you to think strategically about complex people topics that need savvy approaches but also be ready to roll-up your sleeves to get the work done well.

You will report directly to the Managing Director of the office and our HR Director. You will partner closely with the global HR team to understand what the Hong Kong and Shanghai teams need, what is already in place for you to use, and what can be extended to the other Eki entities.

Your responsibilities
