People Systems – Automation Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Egypt.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of and enhance our primary HR systems (e.g., ZenHR and associated government portals), ensuring they remain accurate, clean, and consistently updated.

• Propel automation within People operations, minimizing manual tasks related to contracts, onboarding, payroll entries, and employee records.

• Ensure a smooth onboarding experience from contract generation to system access and first-day preparedness.

• Collaborate closely with People Ops, HR Business Partners, Talent Acquisition, and Finance to guarantee data consistency across all processes.

• Supervise payroll entries and promptly identify discrepancies, particularly regarding compensation frameworks and benefits arrangements.

• Sustain and enhance government portal procedures to ensure compliance and precision in employee documentation.

• Ensure data integrity across all HR systems (eliminating duplicate records, resolving broken workflows, and avoiding “we’ll fix it later” data liabilities).

• Create and maintain straightforward documentation and user manuals so the broader People team can effectively utilize the systems.

• Constantly pinpoint gaps in workflows and suggest improved, quicker, and more scalable operational methods.

• Assist in reporting requirements by ensuring systems can reliably generate precise HR and People metrics.

⛳️ Requirements

• 3-5+ years of experience in HRIS, HR Operations, or People Systems roles (experience with implementation or system management is a significant advantage).

• Familiarity with HR platforms such as ZenHR, SAP, Oracle, ADP, or similar systems.

• Basic understanding of compensation structures and the ability to identify inconsistencies in data.

• Comfortable navigating government portals and structured compliance workflows (or capable of quickly adapting).

• Highly detail-oriented, ensuring that broken data or inconsistent records do not go unnoticed.

• Proficient in systems thinking and enjoy streamlining complex workflows.

• Able to operate effectively in environments where full automation is not yet achieved, with a focus on continuous improvement.

• Communicate effectively across teams and collaborate seamlessly with People Ops, Finance, and HR leadership.

• Organized, methodical, and inherently driven by deadlines.

• Bring a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach, prioritizing effective solutions over mere appearances.

• Enjoy building systems properly rather than employing temporary fixes.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

• A dynamic and supportive work environment.

• Flexible work arrangements.
