About TrueLeap Inc.

TrueLeap Inc. is a global innovation company building the infrastructure for the knowledge economy.

You will report directly to executive leadership and collaborate with country leads and project managers to maintain a unified people strategy across all regions.

3. Performance Management & Culture

• Implement goal‑setting, review, and feedback processes that accommodate diverse regional and cultural contexts.

4. Policy, Systems, and Process Development

• Draft and update HR policies, handbooks, and remote‑work standards.

• Ensure compliance with data privacy standards (GDPR, CCPA) and best practices for distributed teams.

5. Strategic HR Advisory

• Advise the leadership team on workforce planning, compensation strategy, and organizational structure.
