Human Resource Officer

Vivant is a US-based managed services provider delivering enterprise-grade internet, phone, and network solutions to restaurants, medical offices, auto dealers, and service businesses across the United States — trusted by brands like Dunkin’, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dave’s Hot Chicken, Jimmy Jones, and many more.

We’re hiring for an HR Officer — Multi-Region Operations, who spearheads HR initiatives and process improvements for a global team in the US and independent contractors across the Philippines and LATAM.

This is an onsite position based in Cebu, or a temporary remote arrangement available for candidates based in Luzon. However, if the HR Officer is based in Luzon, he or she will be required to relocate to Pampanga once we secure office space there. The company will support the move by providing a relocation package.
