👩💻 Your impact

As a People Operations Specialist, you will step into an organization with strong ambitions, where People Operations is still very much in a build‑up phase. Many processes have grown organically, are only partially documented, and lack consistency and integration. Structure, standardization, and data‑driven ways of working are not yet embedded and that is exactly where your impact begins.

In this role, you will have both the mandate and the opportunity to build solid foundations. You bring clarity to complexity, design scalable processes, and help shape a fully digitized, automation‑first People Operations environment. You will critically assess existing ways of working, simplify where possible, and rebuild where necessary, always with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and future growth.

Your impact will be felt across the entire organization:

• You transform People Operations from reactive and fragmented into structured, proactive, and reliable.

• You ensure people data is accurate, accessible, and used effectively to support decision‑making.

• You enable employees and leaders by creating clear processes, ownership, and tooling.

This is not a role where everything is already in place. It is a role for someone who enjoys building from the ground up — someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment, is comfortable making decisions, and gains energy from creating structure where it currently does not exist. With your work, you will lay the foundation for sustainable growth and a professional employee experience that supports ViCentra’s next phase.

🔧 What you’ll take on

In your role, you will:

• Employee Relations & Compliance: Act as the first point of contact for employee inquiries, ensuring adherence to legislation and company policies.

• HRIS Management & Reporting: Maintain data integrity in HRIS, generate reports, and support data-driven decision-making.

📌 What you bring

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar people operations role within a scaling company.
