About the Role
You will join a two person People and Culture team and own People Operations as a product: the systems, compliance and self serve workflows that let most HR work run on its own. You will:
- Design and maintain an automated, AI enabled employee journey from pre boarding to off boarding
- Own the HR tech stack and make sure the tools are connected, not siloed
- Own the non finance side of payroll, invoicing, contracts and compliance across the 35 countries where TestGorilla works
- Own data privacy, record keeping and the day to day relationship with its Employer of Record provider
- Configure and fix the hiring tools so managers can run their own searches
- Write the documentation that makes self serve work for both people and AI agents
About You
- You have built and owned clever automations with tools like Zapier, n8n or Make as part of an HR tech stack. TestGorilla calls this the most important requirement and asks people without it not to apply.
- You have run payroll, compliance or HR operations across several countries, ideally through an Employer of Record
- Deep, hands-on HRIS experience, with HiBob a big plus
- A product mindset: you build for employees and managers and improve things from their feedback
- Experience in remote, async first teams
- Operational rigor combined with real empathy, plus candid, clear communication in English
- Most people in this role will have around five years of relevant experience
Nice to Have
- Experience with an applicant tracking system such as Ashby, Greenhouse or Lever
- Experience with an Employer of Record such as Remote, Deel or Oyster
- HRIS implementation or migration projects
