Senior People & Talent Operations Partner

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

• Upholding TestGorilla's behaviors and fostering an inclusive, supportive culture.

• Designing, building and maintaining a smart, automated and AI-enabled people journey - from pre-boarding to off-boarding - that frees up capacity for bespoke, white-glove treatment where it matters

• Being the technical owner and orchestrator of our HR tech stack: evaluating and enhancing it, ensuring these tools are not siloed but unified and integrated.

• Owning the non-Finance side of payroll, invoicing, contract administration, and compliance end to end, across every country we operate in.

• Owning data privacy and recordkeeping, and the day-to-day relationship with our EOR vendor.

• Owning configuration and troubleshooting of our hiring tooling, so hiring managers can run their own searches independently.

• Owning the documentation that makes self-serve actually work in practice, ensuring that it’s structured in a way that is easily accessible to both humans and P&C AI agents.Â

• Working with me to maintain a clean line between what's self-serve and what needs a person. We do not aspire to automate our entire People journey here.Â

We're looking for someone who:

• Is passionate about TestGorilla's mission to help one billion people find their dream jobs.

• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

• Has built and owned sophisticated automations (Zapier, n8n, Make.com, and the like) as a core part of an integrated HR tech stack, not just used AI tools day to day. Arguably the most important thing on this list.

• Has managed payroll, compliance, or HR operations across multiple countries, ideally through an Employer of Record or a mix of EOR and direct entities.

• Has deep, hands-on HRIS experience. HiBob experience is a big plus, and so is experience assessing or migrating HR systems.

• Brings a product mindset: builds for the people who use them (employees and managers), listens to their feedback, and iterates rather than building in isolation.

• Thrives in a high-autonomy, async-first, remote-only environment, and has worked in these kinds of teams and working cultures before.

• Marries operational rigor with genuine empathy and a real interest in people. You'll be dealing directly with team members, sometimes on sensitive matters.

• Is opinionated and candid, with excellent feedback and stakeholder management skills.

Most people in this role will have acquired these skills over five years of relevant experience. That being said, we care far more about what you've owned, your impact and how you've progressed, than the exact number of years. We seek diversity and encourage applications from everyone, even if your experience doesn't exactly match the description. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups can be hesitant to apply unless they meet every requirement - let's buck that trend!

While these skills aren't a requirement, we'd be very interested to hear from you if you have any of the following:

• Experience with an ATS or hiring platform such as Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever.

• Experience with an EOR provider such as Remote, Deel, or Oyster.

• HRIS implementation or migration project experience.

• Experience supporting a team through organizational change.

Please note: In this role, you'll be hired as an Individual Contractor.

• Global Team: Join a fully remote, mission-driven team from around the world.

• Competitive compensation: €56,520 - €70,650 base pay + Share Appreciation Rights (SARs). This role doesn't carry a bonus component.

• Remote & flexible work: Work from almost anywhere*. Enjoy flexible hours and asynchronous work to balance work and life.

*Check out the countries we currently hire from here .

• Remote work budget: €1,000 available each year, or up to €2,000 from day 1 if you're buying a laptop!

• Growth & development: Invest in yourself and your career with a 3.5% L&D budget per year and clear growth opportunities.

• Parent/Caregiver support: We provide a caregiver-friendly work environment with paid 8-16 week parental leave and tailored return-to-work approaches.

• Work-life balance: Our unlimited and flexible time off policy empowers you to take the time you need to recharge and maintain your well-being.

At TestGorilla, we believe your skills speak louder than your resume. That's why we champion a skills-first approach, using cutting-edge, AI-powered assessments to uncover your true skills and experience match. When you apply, you'll get to experience our platform firsthand by taking an assessment – it's your invitation to shine and show us what you can do!
