HR Operations Executive

Hybrid: Herne Hill

Salary: up to £37,000, depending on experience and company benefits.

Contract: Permanent, full\-time

The person who keeps HR running brilliantly behind the scenes.

We're looking for an exceptional HR Operations Executive to join our People Team.

This is a role for someone who loves getting things right. Someone who spots the detail others miss, enjoys creating order from complexity and takes pride in delivering a first\-class employee experience.

At Mark Allen, we believe great HR isn't just about policies and processes. It's about creating the foundations that allow people and businesses to thrive. That's where you come in.

As our HR Operations Executive, you'll be at the heart of the employee journey, ensuring payroll runs smoothly, systems are accurate, data can be trusted and employees receive a seamless experience from the day they join to the day they leave.

This isn't a role where you'll be hidden away processing paperwork. You'll work closely with senior leaders, support important business decisions through accurate data and play a key role in helping us build a more efficient, data\-led HR function.

What you’ll be doing

No two days are quite the same, but you'll spend your time:

Payroll \& Benefits

  • Preparing and validating monthly payroll changes

  • Ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time

  • Supporting pension and benefits administration

  • Working closely with our payroll provider to resolve queries
HR Systems \& Data
  • Taking ownership of our HR system and employee records

  • Producing meaningful HR reports and workforce insights

  • Ensuring data accuracy, integrity and compliance

  • Helping us make better people decisions through reliable information
Employee Lifecycle
  • Preparing contracts, offer letters and employment documentation

  • Managing onboarding, probation and leaver processes

  • Supporting managers and employees with day\-to\-day HR administration

  • Ensuring every employee receives a professional and positive experience
Continuous Improvement
  • Identifying opportunities to improve processes and ways of working

  • Reducing manual administration through automation and smarter systems

  • Supporting projects that help modernise and strengthen our HR function
About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys the operational side of HR and understands how important great foundations are.

You'll ideally have:

  • Previous experience in an HR Operations, HR Administration or HR Coordinator role

  • Hands\-on payroll experience

  • Strong HRIS and data management skills

  • Excellent attention to detail and a naturally organised approach

  • Confidence working with numbers, reports and data

  • The ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines

  • A proactive mindset and a willingness to improve processes rather than simply maintain them
Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership, enjoys solving problems and genuinely cares about delivering a great service.

*If you do not meet every requirement but bring transferable skills, sound judgement and fresh thinking, we encourage you to apply.*
