• Support basic workforce planning (headcount, joiners/leavers, movements), keeping HR data accurate in Ericsson systems.
• Monitor and share key people metrics for MOAI PH (VOICE, IPM completion, learning usage, diversity measures) and support simple follow-up actions.
• Promote diversity and inclusion by tracking progress against targets and advocating for unconscious-bias awareness and fair people decisions.
• Support pay and recognition processes by helping managers execute ASR, off-cycle adjustments, STV/SIP and use recognition tools, following global guidelines and local market practice.
• Coordinate recruitment and onboarding with Talent Acquisition and local stakeholders to secure a smooth new-hire experience.
• Guide leaders in applying Ericsson values, purpose and People Philosophies across the employee lifecycle (eForms, terminations, relocations, contract changes).
• Encourage use of health, safety and well-being resources and support Target Zero initiatives within MOAI PH.

The skills you bring:

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills; able to build trust with managers and employees across MOAI PH.
