Who You Are

You're a thoughtful, hands-on HR leader who thrives in ambiguity and builds from scratch. You operate with a strong ownership mindset—seeing problems through to resolution without needing direction. You're values-driven and culturally aware, capable of translating global strategy into locally relevant execution. You influence through trust and clarity, and you believe in holding a high bar for performance, accountability, and alignment.

• Serve as the first in-country HRBP supporting our Islamabad-based sales team
• Own day-to-day HR operations in Pakistan including employee relations, policy rollout, and in-office onboarding
• Collaborate closely with the US-based HRBP team to apply performance frameworks, share insights from the field, and influence people strategy
• Build and localize HR policies and benefits that align with brightwheel values and comply with Pakistani labor law
• Partner directly with local leadership to coach through feedback, accountability, and team dynamics
• Create clarity in ambiguity by designing simple, effective systems where none yet exist

What You've Done

• Served as an HR Business Partner supporting the Pakistan office of a US-based company, acting as the primary in-country HR lead and aligning local execution with global people strategy
• Handled employee relations and performance management cases locally, including coaching managers through difficult situations
• Built or adapted HR policies to meet Pakistan labor law while aligning with a global company's values and philosophy
• Advised business leaders in Pakistan on talent decisions, compliance risks, and people strategy
• Operated independently with minimal support—demonstrating sound judgment and high autonomy in a fast-paced environment
• Worked fluently within a modern, async-first tech stack (e.g., Slack, Google Docs) to document policies, communicate decisions, and collaborate across time zones

We want our team members and their families to thrive, and we're committed to providing competitive, high-quality benefits to support their health, well-being, and future. While specific offerings may vary by region, we aim to offer strong support in the following areas:

• Healthcare Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits where available; we aim to cover a high portion of costs for employees and their families
• Paid Parental Leave: Generous leave to support growing families, with timing and structure aligned to local standards
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): Encouraging regular rest and recharge through flexible vacation policies
• Retirement & Savings Support: Where possible, we provide local retirement or savings plan access (e.g., 401(k) in the U.S.)

Note: Exact benefits for this role will be finalized based on local regulations and best practices in Pakistan. We're committed to delivering benefits and supports that reflect our values and the importance of this role.
