Job Description
Sponsorship: GM DOES NOT PROVIDE IMMIGRATION-RELATED SPONSORSHIP FOR THIS ROLE. DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS ROLE IF YOU WILL NEED GM IMMIGRATION SPONSORSHIP (e.g., H-1B, TN, STEM OPT, etc.) NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid on night shift. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the GM Philippines office as directed by the business, with remote flexibility on non-required onsite days. Night shift hours align with North American, Latin American, and GMIO business operations.
The Role
This is a People Leader within the Manila People Services Center (PSC), responsible for the end-to-end operational delivery of services across distinct team portfolios: (1) a team supporting Workday data management, Benefits administration, and HR reporting for Spanish-speaking markets, and (2) a team supporting GDM transactions and HR data operations for various international markets.
This role leads a team of Team Leaders and their respective analyst groups, ensuring high-quality, SLA-compliant service execution across multiple regions, service lines, and languages. The Supervisor operates with a high degree of independence, owns outcomes across both functional teams, and serves as a key escalation point and operational partner to the PSC Operations Manager, Foundations Enablement, and global HR stakeholders. Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish is required to effectively lead the portfolio and engage with HR partners and PSC counterparts.
Beyond operational delivery, this role requires an innovative mindset and a global perspective. The Supervisor is expected to continuously evaluate GDM processes across all supported regions, identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, eliminate redundancy, and establish standardized practices that improve consistency, quality, and scalability across the entire operating model.
