Prepare, review, and coordinate termination letters, warning letters, separation documentation, and other required documents. Manage multiple active cases simultaneously while closely tracking deadlines, follow-ups, documentation, and outstanding actions. Coordinate with Legal, Payroll, Finance, HR, and other internal stakeholders to ensure accurate and compliant case resolution. Support complex and escalated cases, including employee disputes, disagreements regarding termination terms or compensation, and cases involving external legal counsel. Manage sensitive and challenging conversations with clients and employees with professionalism, empathy, and confidence. Proactively identify potential risks, blockers, or missing information and take action before they impact the offboarding timeline. Maintain accurate case records and ensure all required employee information and documentation is appropriately completed and archived. Support deposit refunds and other offboarding-related financial processes in coordination with Finance when applicable. Share knowledge and best practices with the wider team to continuously improve offboarding processes and the client and employee experience. Qualifications: 2+ years of relevant experience in Offboarding, Employee Relations, HR Operations, Employee Lifecycle, or a similar role.

Experience supporting employees across European markets and navigating different local employment requirements is highly desirable. Good understanding of termination processes, notice requirements, employee separation documentation, and general employment compliance principles. Experience managing multiple cases, tickets, or employee requests simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to consistently track deadlines and follow-ups. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working directly with clients and employees. Demonstrated ability to manage challenging conversations, escalations, and sensitive employee situations professionally. Strong customer focus and the ability to manage expectations when timelines, costs, or legal requirements differ from what a client initially expects. Proactive problem-solving mindset with the ability to anticipate questions, risks, and next steps. Comfortable collaborating with Legal and other cross-functional teams on complex cases. Experience within EOR, global employment, HR outsourcing, HR tech, or international HR operations is a plus. Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred but not required when equivalent practical experience is demonstrated. Key Competencies: Able to manage a high volume of concurrent cases without losing track of deadlines, documentation, or follow-ups.
