About us

lemlist is the sales engagement platform that gives sales teams the unfair advantage they deserve.

Bootstrapped since day one, we’ve grown from 0 to $45M ARR in 6 years, without raising a single dollar.

Today, we’re a profitable B2B SaaS valued at $150M, trusted by 40,000+ sales teams worldwide to book more meetings and close more deals.

The role:

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, organised HR Operations Specialist to join our People Team and ensure our HR processes run smoothly.

In this role, you’ll support the full employee lifecycle—from onboarding through offboarding—working closely with the People Manager to contribute to deliver a smooth, reliable, and people-first employee experience.

Your North Star in this role is simple: Ensure a 5-star employee experience through accurate, thoughtful, and well-run HR operations.

What you’ll do

• Own day-to-day HR operations across the employee lifecycle (onboarding, offboarding, employee changes)

• Support a diverse workforce including employees, EORs and contractors

• Maintain accurate employee data and documentation across HR systems

• Support payroll inputs, benefits administration, and recurring HR ops across multiple countries

• Act as a first point of contact for employee HR questions and operational requests

• Ensure HR processes are compliant, consistent, and well documented

Why it matters:

HR Operations is where the employee experience becomes real. When processes work well, people can focus on their work, trust the company, and feel supported.

In this role, you ensure that every employee interaction with HR — contracts, onboarding, payroll, benefits, or day-to-day questions — is handled with care, consistency, and clarity. As we continue to grow and hire across different locations and employment setups, strong HR operations are essential to keeping the experience seamless for everyone.
