About the role

ABOUT US

Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.

Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.

ABOUT THE ROLE

What we need in the region is someone who knows how HR actually works in the MEA region and who can make our standards land locally without us learning it the hard way.

RESPONSIBILITIES

LOCAL COMPLIANCE & EMPLOYMENT LAW

Own compliance with the Labour Code across MEA region and the employee lifecycle: contract types and durations, trial periods, working time, leave, termination, and severance.
Make sure our group employment contracts, internal work rules, and HR policies are correctly adapted to local

requirements

and flag where they cannot be applied as written.
Manage the relationship with the labour inspectorate and other local authorities; handle filings, registrations, and inspections.
Own employee representation obligations as headcount grows: elections, meetings, and day-to-day relations with staff representatives.
Keep leadership ahead of regulatory change affecting our population in Morocco and, the wider MEA region.

PAYROLL & SOCIAL DECLARATIONS

Own the monthly payroll cycle with our local provider: prepare and validate variable inputs (absences, overtime, bonuses, new hires, leavers) and cross-check payslips before each close.
Ensure correct and timely social and tax declarations
Manage mandatory and supplementary

benefits

locally, including medical cover and pension arrangements.
