Made Tech is a technology company, and our People function should lead by example. As our People Systems & AI Specialist, you are the technical engine behind our "Powerhouse" goal. This is a dedicated, fixed-term role designed to provide the impetus and expertise needed to modernise our tech stack and enable future maintenance to be as self‑sufficient and require minimal manual input as possible.
You will own the optimisation of our core HRIS, but your real impact will be in automation and augmentation. You will identify "admin-heavy" workflows and replace them with elegant, automated solutions and AI‑driven workflows. You are the bridge between raw people data and strategic insights, ensuring that our systems don't just store information, but actively drive better decision‑making across the business and continue to be systems of engagement.
Key Responsibilities
* HRIS Optimisation & Mastery: Conduct a deep‑dive audit of our current HRIS capabilities. Lead the cleanup of data structures and ensure we are utilising 100% of the system's potential to drive efficiency.
* Workflow Automation Lead: Identify the top 10 most manual/repetitive tasks in the People lifecycle (e.g., contract changes, onboarding triggers, leave approvals) and build automated workflows to handle them using tools like Zapier, Workato, or native system integrations.
* AI Implementation & Tech Enablement: Lead the practical rollout of AI tools within the People team. Build and deploy custom AI assistants (GPTs or agents) to handle internal queries, audit payroll data, and assist in sentiment analysis.
* Integration Engineering: Ensure our People tech stack (ATS, HRIS, LMS, Payroll) is fully joined up, minimising data silos and ensuring a seamless, sign‑on experience for employees.
* Digital Upskilling: Mentor the wider People team, building their confidence and capability in using new tools and automation techniques so the transformation continues after your tenure.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
* Systems Expert: Deep experience with multiple HRIS platforms (e.g., HiBob, BambooHR, Workday) and a proven track record of complex implementations.
* Automation Fluency: "No‑code/low‑code" enthusiast with understanding of connecting systems and automating triggers to save hundreds of hours of manual work.
* AI Practitioner: Experience building custom agents or using LLMs to solve specific operational problems.
* Data Visualisation: Comprehensive skills in tools like Tableau, PowerBI, or Google Looker Studio, with ability to turn messy data into a clear, strategic story.
* Project Management Rigour: Able to work in a fixed‑term role, ruthlessly organised, focusing on minimum viable products (MVPs) and rapid delivery cycles.
* Translator Ability: Ability to relate complex information and processes to engineering squads and People team specialists, ensuring alignment on the digital roadmap.
Job Benefits
* 30 days holiday plus bank holidays (pro rata)
* Flexible parental leave options
* Remote working: part‑time remote working for all staff
