Job Description

People Operations Specialist

Seqera

Role Description We need someone who sees a broken process and proactively identifies and improves operational gaps — who builds a workaround when the tool fails and treats compliance complexity as a puzzle to solve. Someone genuinely excited by the idea of owning the people operations foundation at a company where processes are still being built. You’ll play a key role in supporting employee lifecycle operations, compliance, HR systems, and day-to-day People processes across a distributed global team. You’ll work closely with People, Finance, IT, and external partners to help ensure our operations remain accurate, compliant, and employee-centered as we scale. This is a hands-on role with meaningful ownership and opportunities to improve systems, documentation, and workflows over time. What you’ll do - Be the first point of contact for employees on People queries — policies, tools, and day-to-day support — running the JIRA Service Desk as the primary intake channel. - Run onboarding and offboarding end-to-end for every hire across all our locations, and employment models. - Manage employee lifecycle administration in HiBob and related systems, including leave management, compensation updates, benefits changes, and employee records. - Prepare documentation and HRIS updates for performance and compensation review cycles. - Partner with payroll, benefits, and external employment providers to ensure timely and accurate operations. - Maintain HR documentation, policies, contracts, and records in an organized and audit-ready manner. - Support visa and mobility processes in coordination with external immigration partners. - Identify opportunities to improve workflows, documentation, automation, and operational scalability. Payroll & Global Employment Compliance - Run the payroll cycles in coordination with external providers and Finance — ensuring accuracy, on-time delivery, and clean records across all countries. - Administer day-to-day operations with our global employment and benefits partners — managing employee lifecycle changes on platforms and keeping data accurate. - Manage US state-level employment compliance: workers’ compensation registrations, state tax nexus, mandatory paid leave, and local ordinances across all states where Seqera has employees. - Maintain Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) compliance across all jurisdictions — specially Spain and the USA. - Ensure employee data is processed in compliance with GDPR and applicable data protection laws — maintaining records, handling subject access requests, and flagging data risks promptly. Qualifications - 4–6 years of hands-on experience in People Operations, HR, or a generalist role with significant operational scope. - Experience working in a scaling, international, or operationally complex environment, required. - Experience managing multi-country payroll and employee administration. - Working knowledge of Spanish labor law administration — required. - Exposure to US employment law (federal and state level) is a strong plus; UK or Canadian experience is also valued. - Experience with HiBob or a comparable HRIS as an administrator (not just end user). - Familiarity with global employment platforms, benefits vendors, and HR tooling is strongly preferred. - Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Law, or a related field — preferred, not required if your practical experience speaks for itself. - Fluent Spanish and English (professional or native level for both). How you work - Resourceful: When the tool doesn’t do what you need, you find a way. When the process breaks, you fix it. - Bias for action: You’d rather ship an 80% solution today than wait for a perfect one next month — without compromising on compliance or confidentiality. - Detail-oriented: You catch the small things others miss. - Tech-savvy and quick to learn new systems: Comfortable across Slack, JIRA, spreadsheets, and HR tools. - Discreet: You handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and maturity. Benefits - Be part of a mission-driven company empowering scientific innovation. - Work in a global, collaborative, and fast-growing environment. - Opportunity to shape foundational People processes. - Competitive salary and growth opportunities. - Barcelona HQ environment with international exposure. - Remote-friendly culture with meaningful in-person connection.
