People Systems Lead - Europe (12-month FTC)

Typeform is fully remote by design. For this role, we can hire candidates based in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Spain or The Netherlands

About the Team

At Typeform, our People Systems, Analytics & Operations team builds and operates the systems, data, and processes that power the employee experience at scale.

We’re a globally distributed team responsible for ensuring that our People infrastructure—from HR systems to lifecycle operations—runs reliably, efficiently, and with a strong focus on employee experience.

About the Role

We’re looking for a People Systems Lead who brings a strong systems-thinking mindset to People Operations.

This role goes beyond executing processes—you will analyze, optimize, and evolve how our People operations work end-to-end. You’ll connect workflows, systems, and employee experience, identifying opportunities to simplify processes and leverage automation to scale effectively.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring our People infrastructure is not only reliable, but continuously improving as we grow. This is a hands-on role with high visibility, where you’ll contribute to both operational excellence and process design across the employee lifecycle.

Please note that this position is for an initial 12-month fixed term contract.

Things you will do:

Analyze, design, and improve People processes

• Map and evaluate end-to-end People processes, identifying inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities for simplification
• Redesign workflows to improve scalability, reduce manual effort, and enhance employee experience
• Partner with People Systems to translate process improvements into system enhancements and automation
• Take a structured, systems-level approach to problem solving, understanding upstream and downstream impacts

Operate and improve People systems

• Ensure HRIS (HiBob) reflects well-designed processes—not just accurate data—by continuously improving workflows, fields, and automation
• Support system updates, configurations, and workflow enhancements
• Identify gaps across processes and systems, and drive improvements that combine process redesign and technology enablement

Ensure data quality and operational rigor

• Own data accuracy across People systems, ensuring compliance and audit readiness
• Support reporting and data validation in partnership with People Analytics and Finance
• Contribute to building trust in workforce data through consistent, reliable operations

Enhance employee experience through operations

• Act as a primary point of contact for employee inquiries, delivering clear, timely, and high-quality support
• Identify friction points in the employee journey and drive improvements
• Build simple, scalable processes that improve the overall employee experience

Drive continuous improvement

• Proactively identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual work, and increase efficiency
• Support cross-functional initiatives that improve People Operations at scale
• Help evolve operational practices as the company grows

Own and deliver employee lifecycle operations

• Manage end-to-end employee lifecycle processes (onboarding, changes, offboarding) with a focus on accuracy, consistency, and experience
• Ensure employee records, contracts, and documentation are maintained with high data integrity and confidentiality
• Partner with IT, Payroll, and Total Rewards to ensure smooth execution of lifecycle events

What you already bring to the table:

• Experience in People Operations, HR Shared Services, or HR Operations in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Strong systems thinking mindset—you naturally look at processes end-to-end, understand dependencies, and design improvements that scale
• Experience improving or redesigning People/HR processes, ideally with a focus on automation and tooling
• Strong working knowledge of HR systems (HiBob or similar HRIS) and data management
• Proven experience supporting multi-country populations (US + Europe)
• High attention to detail with a strong sense of ownership over data accuracy and process quality
• Ability to translate operational challenges into structured process and system improvements
• Strong communication skills and a service-oriented approach to employee support
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment
• Solid understanding of HR compliance and best practices
