Our diverse global team spans disciplines, backgrounds, and time zones, but we are united by shared values and a commitment to learning.

The successful candidate will design and build scalable, data-driven people systems while simultaneously driving excellence in day-to-day people operations across a global, multi-country organization. This is not a traditional HR role—it is a builder, operator, and strategist position for an individual who can develop systems, interpret data, and translate both into meaningful improvements in employee experience and organizational performance. This need is driven by our rapid growth and expansion across geographies—we are scaling quickly and as our headcount and operational footprint continue to grow, we require someone who has experience systematising and optimising organisations in high-growth environments, and who can build the infrastructure needed to support scale without losing agility, culture, or performance. Key responsibilities 1. Data, Analytics & Insights Build and manage a global people data framework (e.g., hiring, retention, engagement, performance). Develop dashboards and automated reporting for leadership decision-making. Translate data into clear insights and actionable recommendations. Lead internal research (engagement surveys, benchmarking, workforce modelling) Ensure learning and development programs are measured through clear impact and ROI indicators. 2. Global Operational Efficiency Conduct end-to-end process improvement across recruitment, onboarding, performance management, learning, benefits, and compliance. Identify bottlenecks and redundancies, implementing scalable solutions to streamline workflows. Introduce automation and workflow enhancements to reduce administrative burden and improve turnaround times. Embed continuous improvement methodologies and feedback loops into people operations. 3. Workforce Planning & Talent Systems Support organisational growth through workforce modelling and hiring analytics. Monitor hiring pipelines, time-to-fill, and quality-of-hire metrics. Track learning impact and performance outcomes. Enable structured career development pathways and talent growth systems. 4. Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration Partner with Country Leads, Department Heads, and senior leadership to align systems and reporting with strategic priorities. Provide technical guidance and training to ensure effective system adoption across countries. Serve as the primary people systems and analytics expert within the organisation. Support change management initiatives tied to system upgrades and global standardisation efforts. 5. Compliance & Risk Management Develop and maintain data governance policies and access controls. Ensure global compliance in record-keeping, benefits tracking, and employee documentation. Standardise documentation practices and audit trails across all country offices. Maintain confidentiality and ethical handling of sensitive employee data. What success looks like Fully integrated, efficient people systems across all countries Real-time dashboards informing leadership decisions Reduced manual processes through automation Improved employee experience and engagement scores Strong adoption of systems and standardised processes globally Clear, data-driven workforce planning and talent insights Required experience and qualifications 5–8+ years in people operations, HR, data, systems, or consulting environments Experience in multi-country or global organizations Proven track record in systems implementation, data analysis and reporting, project management and process optimisation Strong analytical capability& experience with people systems and automation tools Extensive experience in process mapping and operational efficiency expertise Who will thrive in this role Highly organised: Executes with structure and attention to detail Systems Thinker: Can design scalable, interconnected solutions Data Translator: Turns data into clear, actionable insights Adaptable and resilient in fast-paced environments.
