An international fintech startup making the lives of entrepreneurs easier. We help thousands of businesses kick admin, accounting and bookkeeping out of their day‑to‑day, so they can spend more time on what's important to them. We've developed a unique solution that combines SaaS with a human‑in‑the‑loop approach to provide full‑fledged services in real‑time.

We're Osome

We’re experiencing rapid growth in both client base and team, which now comprises around 500 people across our offices worldwide. As we continue to scale, we’re looking for more bright minds who are excited to make a real impact by solving complex problems.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and can move comfortably between analytical and creative work, using data from across the employee lifecycle to spot opportunities, then designing and delivering initiatives that strengthen engagement and improve the efficiency of our people processes.

The ideal candidate must be comfortable with change, highly adaptable, being self motivated and demonstrate a high level of maturity when handling sensitive information.

• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports covering headcount, attrition, engagement, leave, performance, talent, reward and other relevant people metrics.
• Analyse trends and risks, test assumptions and translate findings into clear narratives and practical recommendations for leaders and the People team.
• Support the design, administration and delivery of performance, talent, compensation and engagement cycles.
• Create and manage projects that improve employee experience, engagement and retention, including plans, milestones, communications and follow‑up actions.
• Collaborate with and influence People Partners and business stakeholders so that local and global initiatives are practical, aligned and implemented effectively.
• Work with the wider team to support diversity, inclusion and employee‑belonging initiatives, embedding inclusive thinking into processes, communications and the wider employee experience.
• Explore AI, HRIS features and updates, automation and solutions that reduce manual work, improve accuracy and create capacity within the People team

Key competencies for position and level

• Strong understanding of People Operations, payroll processes and employee‑lifecycle administration.
• Hands‑on HRIS ownership, including system configuration, workflow design, reporting, permissions and data governance.
