Global People Operations Lead
Stockholm, LondonFull-timePosted 3mo ago
About the role
Lead and develop Lovable’s regional People Ops teams, own HRIS, payroll, compliance, contractor risk, and build scalable, AI-native self-service and documentation foundations to support rapid growth across Sweden, the UK, the US, and beyond.
Responsibilities
- Lead the Global People Ops team — manage and develop the regional People Ops specialists (Sweden, UK, Americas), moving the function from individual coverage to leader-led, cross-regionally consistent delivery.
- Own the employee lifecycle operating model — iterate and maintain seamless, scalable workflows across onboarding, job changes, internal mobility, leave, offboarding, employee data, and recurring People processes so employees and managers experience People Ops as clear, reliable, and easy to navigate.
- Payroll, Benefits & Compliance oversight — ensure clear subject-matter ownership per jurisdiction (Sweden, UK, US) while driving consistency in how the function operates across all of them; build audit-ready documentation, controls, and reporting that can stand up to enterprise-grade scrutiny.
- HR Systems & People Engineering — own HRIS strategy end-to-end (HiBob and adjacent tooling), including evaluation, implementation, integrations, data integrity, automation, access controls, and ongoing systems design, in partnership with the team’s People Engineer — and drive an AI-ready foundation (clean data, clear definitions, controlled access) that enables safe AI workflows.
- Process, playbook & self-service design — iterate our operations coverage with clear ownership, documented playbooks, intuitive self-service, and predictable, well-coordinated delivery — including AI-assisted self-service (where appropriate) so employees and managers can get answers fast without losing the human touch when it matters.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in People/HR Operations, including real experience leading and developing People Ops specialists, not just doing the work solo.
- Experience at an AI-native or fast-scaling tech company (or a clear point of view on what it means to run an AI-native People Ops function).
- Direct experience owning multi-country payroll, benefits, and compliance; Sweden, UK, and US experience is a strong plus given Lovable's footprint.
- A track record designing scalable People Ops systems and processes in a high-growth environment, moving a function from ad hoc to structured.
- Skilled at stakeholder management and influencing with data-centered narratives.
- Balances speed with rigor: can move quickly in ambiguity while building the controls, documentation, and quality bar needed for scale — including privacy-by-design, role-based access, and safe AI usage standards.
