Based at our Head Office, you’ll spend plenty of time working with employee records, payroll information, systems and spreadsheets — but this is far from a heads-down data role. Expect regular interaction with employees, leaders and new hires across the Lawen Group family of companies. Some days will be about deadlines and details; others will have you welcoming a new employee, helping someone navigate a benefit question, coordinating training or bringing the team together for an event.
While we do appreciate all applicants, only those selected to move on to the interview process will be contacted.
