• Ensure full compliance with Egyptian labor law and Allianz policies.
• Prepare and review employment contracts, warning letters, and HR documentation.
• Liaise with labor offices, social insurance, and government authorities when required.

3. Onboarding & Talent Development

• Lead onboarding and orientation processes to ensure a positive employee experience.
• Collaborate with regional Learning CoE to deploy global and local learning initiatives.

4. Performance, Rewards & HR Analytics

• Support the annual performance management cycle (goal setting, reviews, calibration).
• Prepare compensation data and participate in salary review and market benchmarking exercises.
• Generate and analyze HR dashboards (turnover, headcount, absenteeism, etc.) to support management decisions.

5. Employee Engagement & Culture

• Coordinate employee engagement programs (AES action plans, recognition programs, wellness initiatives).
• Promote Allianz’s People & Culture values and contribute to internal communication campaigns.
• Partner with managers to maintain a positive and inclusive work environment.

6. HR Operations & Projects

• Oversee HR operations (attendance, benefits, medical insurance, payroll validation).
• Ensure accuracy and integrity of employee data in HR systems (e.g., SuccessFactors).
• Support HR audits and process improvement projects.

What you bring :

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field.
• 6–8 years of progressive HR experience, ideally within a multinational environment.
• Solid knowledge of Egyptian labor law and government processes.
• Experience in employee relations, recruitment, and HR operations.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills in English and Arabic.
• High level of professionalism, confidentiality, and problem-solving ability.
