Job description

HR Operations specialist

People Lab is the HiBob implementation and managed services division of Futurist, a business built around a private network of senior People Leaders (CPOs, CHROs and VPs of People) at VC and PE-backed tech companies. We implement and manage HiBob for fast-growth businesses, and we're growing the team that delivers it.

This is a role for someone who has solid hands-on experience in an HRIS or People Ops role and is ready to take the next step - not into a bigger in-house team, but into a specialist practice where you'll be surrounded by people who live and breathe HR technology.

You'll work across a small portfolio of clients, supported by senior practitioners, and build your HiBob expertise faster than you would in almost any in-house role.

What you'll do

  • Keep HiBob running smoothly for your client accounts; accurate data, clean records, timely updates
  • Ensure each customer is maximising the benefits of the platform, and aware of the future product roadmap
  • Process employee lifecycle changes: new starters, leavers, role changes, and everything in between
  • Maintain org structures, permissions, and basic configuration as clients change and grow
  • Run standard reports and pull data when clients need visibility on their people
  • Be the first point of contact for day-to-day system queries from client HR teams, escalating to senior colleagues where needed
  • Support onboarding of new clients alongside the broader People Lab team
  • Flag anything that looks off - data quality, process gaps, or where a client could be using Bob better

What we're looking for

  • Around 3 years' experience in a People Operations, HR Operations, or HRIS administration role
  • The right character - we want people who ENJOY what they do and personally motivated by maximising the outputs of their HiBob platform
  • Hands-on experience with HiBob is a real advantage; but solid experience with a comparable platform (BambooHR, Personio, Charlie HR etc) and a genuine appetite to specialise in Bob will be considered
  • Comfortable with the fundamentals of HR process: employee lifecycle, basic reporting, data management
  • A clear communicator who can respond to client queries professionally and calmly
  • Strong organisational skills - and the ability to spin several plates at the same time
  • Enthusiasm to learn - this is essential, we want people in team who are genuinely enthusiastic about HR Tech, and are excited to develop their career within the modern HR Tech world.

Why join People Lab

  • Develop real depth in HiBob - the fastest-growing, and most effective HRIS platform in the market, with experienced practitioners alongside you
  • Variety that an in-house role can't offer: you'll see how different scaling companies use Bob, which builds your knowledge quickly
  • Access to a senior network of CPOs and CHROs through Futurist - rare exposure at this stage of a career
  • An early hire in a growing practice, with a clear path upward as the team expands

We review every application personally. If you're not a perfect fit on paper but you know your way around an HRIS and you're serious about building a career in HR technology, we'd still like to hear from you.
