About the Role
This is a busy, people-facing role sitting at the heart of the HR Operations function at CMR Surgical. You will own the end-to-end employee experience from the moment someone accepts an offer to the day they leave and everything in between, including coordinating all our learning and development activity. CMR Surgical operates across multiple countries and regions, so a comfort with global working and an awareness of how people processes vary across jurisdictions will be important. Alongside this specialist focus, both HR Operations Advisors share responsibility for the day-to-day running of HR Ops: benefits administration, payroll support, data reporting, and being a first point of contact for people queries. This is a role suited to someone who brings strong operational discipline and the confidence to work with managers and employees across a globally dispersed organisation.
This role is offered on a hybrid basis, with a minimum of 3 days a week being based in the office.
