We're hiring a People Operations Generalist!

As the People Operations Generalist at Breeze, you'll play a key role in ensuring a seamless employee experience while supporting the people operations infrastructure that powers our global growth. This is a highly operational and hands-on role that will initially focus on covering a maternity leave period and working closely with our People team to manage People Operations across our global entities.

You'll be primarily based in Singapore and will take on full hands-on responsibility for Singapore People Ops, payroll, and compliance, while also taking meaningful ownership of people operations across our global entities. This role is ideal for someone who brings strong People Ops foundations combined with hands-on experience managing people operations across multiple geographies — someone who is equally comfortable navigating compliance and operations as they are being a trusted, approachable partner for employees across the organization.

We're looking for someone who genuinely cares about the employee experience — not just getting things done operationally, but making people feel heard, supported, and comfortable reaching out on any matter. Someone who can operate as both a trusted People Ops partner and an exceptional operator — hitting the ground running, working closely with the broader team, and helping us build a people function that employees across Breeze truly trust and value.
