About the Role

As our People Operations Specialist, you will be a key member of the global People Operations team, supporting operational excellence and a consistent employee experience across the organisation. Reporting to the Senior Director People Operations, this global role provides practical, day-to-day support across People processes, systems, payroll coordination, benefits administration and employee lifecycle activities.

You will help ensure that People data is accurate, processes are completed efficiently, and employees and managers receive timely, professional support. Working collaboratively across the People team and wider business, you will also identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and service delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

People systems and data: Maintain accurate employee records across global People and payroll systems, complete regular audits, resolve discrepancies and support reliable reporting.

Employee lifecycle: Coordinate onboarding, contractual changes, transfers and offboarding, ensuring documentation, approvals, system access and records are complete and timely.

Payroll and benefits: Compile and validate multi-country payroll instructions, coordinate benefit enrolments and changes, and work with internal teams and external providers to resolve queries promptly.

People support: Provide responsive, professional guidance to employees and managers on People policies, processes and systems, escalating complex or sensitive matters appropriately.

Policies and compliance: Maintain clear, accurate and globally consistent policies, procedures, templates and guidance, while handling sensitive information securely and supporting applicable data protection and employment requirements.

Continuous improvement: Identify and implement practical improvements that increase the efficiency, accuracy and scalability of People Operations processes, systems and service delivery.

People programmes and collaboration: Support cyclical activities and projects—including performance, reward and engagement—while partnering with People colleagues, managers, employees and external providers across locations and time zones.

What we're looking for:

Experience in People Operations, HR administration or HR systems within a global or multi-country organisation.

Hands-on experience with HiBob or a comparable global HRIS; familiarity with recruitment, engagement or other People platforms is an advantage.

Experience coordinating multi-country payroll inputs and working with payroll providers or internal payroll teams.

A strong understanding of employee lifecycle processes, People data administration and HR operational best practice.

Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver accurately to deadlines.

Clear, professional communication skills and a collaborative, service-focused approach.

Sound judgement and discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information.

Confidence working with spreadsheets, standard reports, data audits and process documentation.

A proactive, dependable approach and confidence collaborating across locations, time zones and cultures.

A relevant HR qualification or professional certification is welcome but not essential.
