The Role
As Head of HR Operations, you'll own the day‑to‑day running of the People function for Remote Pass's own globally distributed team. This is a hands‑on, execution‑first role. You'll keep our internal HR engine running smoothly as we grow, personally doing the work while leading a small, capable team across HR operations and talent acquisition.
This is an operator's role, not a strategist's. If you're energised by owning the details, being the go‑to person, and running a tight, reliable operation, you'll thrive here.
Please note: This role covers Remote Pass's own internal team only, not the EOR or contractor employees we manage on behalf of our clients.
Responsibilities- Own day‑to‑day HR operations for Remote Pass's internal, globally distributed team, keeping everything running reliably.
- Maintain the operational backbone of the HR function: processes, policies, documentation, and systems. Most of this exists. Your job is to keep it current, fix what's broken, and simplify where it makes sense.
- Be the go‑to point of contact for the team on any HR query or issue, resolving matters promptly and with care.
- Run performance review cycles end‑to‑end, from set‑up and coordination through to follow‑through.
- Lead and support the TA function, staying hands‑on with hiring where needed and keeping the recruitment pipeline moving.
- Lead, coach, and develop the team as Remote Pass expands, balancing your own delivery with managing others.
- Maintain compliance with internal HR policies and local employment requirements across the countries where our team works.
- Track and report on the metrics that matter: time to hire, onboarding completion, ticket resolution, and compliance status.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with leadership, Finance, and Payroll to ensure a seamless experience for the internal team.
- 5 to 10 years in HR or People Operations with a strong track record of hands‑on, day‑to‑day delivery.
- Proven experience running HR operations for a distributed or remote, multi‑country team.
- Experience managing both HR operations and talent acquisition simultaneously.
- Experience leading and developing a small team.
- Background at a startup, scale‑up, tech company, or EOR or HR tech company is a strong advantage.
- Hands‑on experience with onboarding, offboarding, performance review cycles, and relevant HR and recruitment tools including an ATS.
- Excellent organisational and process skills with genuine attention to detail and follow‑through.
- Comfortable being the operational go‑to person in a fast‑changing, remote‑first environment.
- Fluent in English.
- Be part of a fast‑growing global company transforming remote work.
- Own and shape the HR operations of a remote‑first, globally distributed team during a period of rapid growth.
- Work in a collaborative, inclusive environment with a strong culture of ownership.
