Summary job description

The Human Resources Officer is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the organization’s human resources by planning, implementing, and evaluating employee relations and human resources policies, programs, and practices and providing HR-related advice and assistance to the senior management team and colleagues in Timor-Leste.
