We are now seeking an outstanding HR Associate to be our first dedicated people presence in Manila, someone who will build the

employee experience from the ground up as the team scales.

Job Summary:

The Talent & Culture Associate is the first dedicated HR and people experience role in the Manila office. This is not a

back-office role. You will be visible, proactive, and hands-on as the primary people partner for a fast-scaling research team.

Your mandate centers on three areas that will define how Manila grows: talent acquisition and pipeline building, employer

branding, and co-owning the investment research internship program with top-tier schools. Alongside these, you will own

onboarding, culture and engagement, and the day-to-day Manila office experience.

You report to the HR Head in Cebu, with the Head of Research in Manila as your key stakeholder for now.

Key Responsibilities:

Talent Acquisition and Pipeline

You will be the talent engine for the Manila office. This means building and managing the candidate pipeline for Manila-based

roles through active sourcing, screening, and coordinating the full interview process through Ashby ATS. You will report pipeline

health and fill rate to the HR Head monthly so hiring decisions are always grounded in current data.

Source and screen candidates for Manila-based roles through job boards, LinkedIn, and direct outreach

Coordinate interview scheduling via Ashby ATS; ensure timely candidate communication and a smooth experience at every

touchpoint

Maintain candidate pipelines and report fill rate, time-to-fill, and pipeline health to the HR Head monthly

Build and manage relationships with Manila universities and academic partners for internship recruitment, not limited to APEX

Run full internship cycles from sourcing and screening through onboarding, progress tracking, and conversion support

Organize demo days, showcase events, and program wrap-ups each cycle; report intern-to-FTE conversion rate to HR Head

Administer a candidate experience survey at the close of each recruitment cycle; consolidate results into a quarterly summary

Employer Branding

Employer branding is a Day 1 priority and a shared mandate across talent acquisition and culture. On the talent acquisition side,

you own the pipeline-facing activities. On the culture side, you own content and storytelling. Together, these define how Dédale

is perceived as an employer in Manila.

Represent Dédale at campus events, job fairs, and networking activities in Manila

Manage the company's careers page on Facebook and other relevant platforms, keeping content current, engaging, and reflective

of what it is actually like to work here

Coordinate employer branding materials and collateral for campus and community events

Support social media content that showcases Manila office life, culture, and team milestones

Help position Dédale as an employer of choice for top graduates and young professionals in the Philippines

Track reach, engagement, and applicant source data from branding activities; report quarterly to HR Head

Onboarding

You will be the first face of the Manila employee experience. From the moment a candidate signs their offer, you are responsible

for making sure their first days and weeks feel intentional, warm, and well-organized.

Coordinate all Day 1 logistics for Manila new hires: IT setup, system access, welcome kit preparation, and workspace readiness

Guide new hires through their first week with a structured schedule and genuine human touchpoints

Coordinate and calendar the 30-day onboarding journey for Research Analysts, confirming all sessions, check-ins, and milestones

with stakeholders ahead of each start date

Maintain onboarding checklists and flag gaps to the HR Head for program improvement

Administer a new hire satisfaction survey at the end of each onboarding period; consolidate results into a quarterly summary

for the HR Head

Culture and Employee Engagement

You will be the culture builder for the Manila office. This means designing and executing initiatives that strengthen connection

and belonging, building the traditions and rituals that give the team a distinct identity, and ensuring employees feel recognized

and celebrated at meaningful moments.

Design and execute Manila culture initiatives that strengthen team connection and belonging

Act as the first point of contact for employee queries and requests, routing to the right person as needed

Support recognition programs and milestone celebrations

Build Manila office traditions and rituals that give the team a distinct identity

Conduct pulse checks and engagement surveys; prepare a quarterly engagement summary for the HR Head

Training Coordination

You will be the logistics backbone of learning in Manila. While the HR Head owns the strategy and the Research Head drives content

and delivery, you ensure that every training session, development program, and learning initiative runs without friction.

Coordinate training logistics: scheduling, venue or virtual link setup, and materials preparation

Track training attendance and participation; prepare post-session feedback summaries

Monitor Individual Development Plan (IDP) completion across the Manila team; flag overdue items to managers and the HR Head

Prepare presentation materials for training sessions as directed by the HR Head or Research Head

Office Experience and Manila Ops

You will be the person who makes the Manila office feel like a place people want to show up to. This means maintaining a

productive and engaging work environment, acting as the first point of contact for day-to-day office needs, and ensuring that the

physical experience of working in Manila reflects the culture the team is building.

Serve as primary point of contact for Manila office experience and day-to-day employee needs

Recommend and implement improvements to create a productive and engaging work environment

Support visitor management and coordinate on-site visits

Handle HR and administrative tasks that require physical presence in Manila: document distribution, onboarding logistics, and

office coordination

Boundary: Processing, payments, and tasks not requiring physical presence route to Cebu Admin. Permanent office scouting and lease

coordination route to Admin; HR role is advisory only.

Qualifications:

1 to 3 years of experience in HR, talent acquisition, people operations, or campus relations; strong fresh graduates with

relevant internship experience are considered

Degree in Psychology, Human Resources, Business Administration, Behavioral Sciences, or a related discipline

Hands-on experience in recruiting or talent acquisition, including sourcing, screening, and end-to-end coordination

Strong interpersonal and communication skills, written and verbal, with the ability to adjust tone for different audiences

Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple streams independently

Proactive and resourceful: you figure things out rather than waiting to be told

Comfortable operating independently with a remote manager; you flag issues proactively and communicate without prompting

Data-aware: you track what matters and can build a clear, simple story around numbers

Creative communicator with an eye for visual storytelling and employer branding content is a strong advantage

Familiarity with Ashby ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, or similar tools is an advantage

Cherry on the Cake!

You are energized by the idea of building something rather than inheriting it.

You thrive in a fast-paced, international environment where your work is visible and your impact is felt.

You are as comfortable representing the company at a campus job fair as you are building a tracker or writing a culture post.

You see this role not as a job description but as a mandate to shape how Manila grows.

Important to Note:

This role combines people experience work with on-the-ground coordination that requires physical presence in Manila. Some tasks

will be strategic and creative; others will be operational and hands-on. We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing both

well.

You will be the only HR presence in Manila, with your manager in Cebu. This requires maturity, self-direction, and the confidence

to make decisions and escalate when needed. Candidates looking exclusively for strategic HR work or who need close day-to-day

supervision may find this setup challenging.

How This Role Grows With You:

This role starts broad and hands-on. As we scale, it deepens.

In the near term, you will be hands-on across all six streams, with talent acquisition, employer branding, and the internship

program as the immediate priorities. As Manila grows toward 30 and beyond, this role takes on greater ownership of the full talent

lifecycle and people strategy.

At that stage, the role formally transitions to HR Business Partner, with a title and compensation review to match. The strategic

HR agenda is set by the HR Head. But as you grow in the role, you will be given increasing autonomy and a genuine seat at the

table for Manila people decisions.

Earnings and Benefits:

Competitive Base Salary + Allowances

Annual Performance-Based Bonus

Paid Time Off + Government-Mandated Benefits

HMO Coverage (after regularization)

Process:

HR Introduction Call

Pre-case interview with Leadership team

Case Debrief with Global HR Head

Final Interview with APAC HR Head
