Johannesburg, South Africa Sage Full time

As a People Services Representative, you'll be the first point of contact for colleagues and managers, providing essential support on People policies, processes, and programs. Whether it's guiding a colleague through a process or resolving inquiries that can't be handled through self-service, you'll ensure a seamless experience. You’ll tackle Tier 1 inquiries and connect with the Tier 2 team when more specialized support is needed.

You'll handle these queries with confidence, either over the phone or in writing, always guided by our knowledge articles and best practices.
Empower Self-Service: Coach colleagues and managers to navigate self-service tools, redirect them to the right resources, or offer advice using policies and tip-sheets. Your guidance will help them solve issues on their own where possible.
Escalate When Needed: Identify when queries require specialist input and escalate them to the appropriate teams. Stay up-to-date on multiple policies, agreements, and legacy terms to ensure you're providing the most accurate advice.
Collaborate to Solve Problems: Work closely with People colleagues to address more complex issues, ensuring that policies, procedures, and programs are applied consistently and correctly.
Manage Key People Data: Handle important administrative tasks related to group benefits, such as medical, dental, vision, and more. You’ll also process PTO, tuition approvals, and reimbursements.
Support Administrative Processes: Assist with various People Services transactions, including payroll data collection, absence management, colleague relations, resourcing, offer letters, and more.
Track and Record Interactions: Use our technology to manage cases, track resolutions, and maintain accurate, up-to-date records for future reference.
