HR Operations Specialist

Location: Maadi, Cairo (Kompass School Campus)

School Type: Progressive, Trilingual International School (English, German, Arabic)

About Kompass School

At Kompass, we believe education is about finding the system that fits the child, not fitting the child into a system. Established in 2008, we are a boutique, progressive school in Maadi that provides a warm, "home-away-from-home" environment. We pride ourselves on our trilingual immersion and our commitment to seeing every child as a unique individual. As we grow, we are looking for an HR Operations Specialist who shares our values of care, transparency, and excellence to support our dedicated team of educators and staff.

The Role

The HR Operations Specialist is the backbone of our staff experience. You will ensure that the "behind-the-scenes" of our school runs smoothly—from the moment a new teacher joins us to their daily attendance and monthly payroll. You will be the first point of contact for employee inquiries, ensuring our team feels as supported and "seen" as our students.

Key Responsibilities

Employee Lifecycle Management: Execute end-to-end onboarding (contracts, documentation, system setup) and offboarding (exit interviews, final settlements).

Personnel & Compliance: Maintain meticulously organized digital and physical personnel files in full compliance with Egyptian Labor Law and school policies.

Payroll & Benefits: Prepare and review monthly payroll data, including tracking attendance, leaves, and deductions. Manage social and medical insurance enrollments and claims.

Documentation: Issue official HR letters (employment certificates, bank letters, etc.) and ensure all staff contracts are renewed in a timely manner.

Liaison: Act as the primary contact for the Labor Office and Social Insurance authorities.

Culture Support: Foster a positive work environment by responding to employee inquiries with empathy and clarity, reflecting the "Kompass" spirit of care.

Who You Are

Experienced: You have 2–4 years of experience in HR Operations or Personnel, preferably within an international school or a multicultural environment.

Expert in Law: You have a solid grasp of the Egyptian Labor Law and Social Insurance regulations.

Detail-Oriented: You believe that accuracy in data and files is a form of respect for your colleagues.

Trilingual Mindset: While the role is operational, fluency in English and Arabic is essential. Knowledge of German is a lovely plus!

Tech-Savvy: You are highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and familiar with HRIS systems.

Why Join Kompass?

A Unique Culture: Work in a "calm and safe" environment where staff are treated with the same respect and individuality as our students.

Boutique Setting: Be more than just a number; have a direct impact on a close-knit professional community.

Location: Based in the heart of Maadi, one of Cairo’s most green and vibrant neighborhoods.

Job Type: Full-time
