Efficio is the world’s largest specialist procurement and supply chain consultancy, with offices across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. We’re a diverse team of over 1,000 individuals, representing more than 60 different nationalities and speaking 40\+ languages – and we’re continuing to grow rapidly!

We are a fast\-growing, international company with offices across Portugal and the UK. Our team is built on expertise, rigour, and a genuine commitment to doing things right — and we’re looking for people who feel the same way.

We are recruiting for our Lisbon Office, where you’ll join a growing team of talented HR professionals supporting employees across two markets. This is a hands\-on, high\-ownership role at the heart of our HR Operations function.

*We are offering a 1\-year contract with the possibility to become permanent.*

As a HR Specialist, you will own BAU processes end\-to\-end across global payroll coordination, benefits administration, onboarding, employee lifecycle, and compliance activities across Portugal and the UK. Working closely with the HR Operations Lead, your key responsibilities include:

• Coordinating global payroll across Portugal and the UK : validating inputs, running pre/post checks, and ensuring every cycle runs on time without errors.


• Owning data quality in our HRIS : the single source of truth for all employee information across both markets.


• Managing onboarding and offboarding end\-to\-end for Portugal : from day\-one setup and HR inductions to exit documentation.


• Benefits administration across both markets and managing renewals and provider relationships.


• Handling the full employee lifecycle for Portuguese employees : parental leave, resignations, probation, documentation requests and ad hoc queries.


• Supporting UK visa and immigration administration : Skilled Worker visas, right\-to\-work checks, and coordination with external immigration advisors.


• Maintaining audit\-ready files at all times and proactively flagging compliance gaps :not just when an audit is announced.

*Our collaborative culture is what makes us stand out. We value people who take ownership, care about the detail, and are invested in making things work well for those around them. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast\-paced environment and brings both rigour and warmth to everything they do.*

*Strong opportunities for career growth are an important part of what we offer — we love seeing ambition and a proactive approach to developing your career.*

We’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in:

• Up to 3 years of experience in an HR administration or HR operations role


• Hands\-on HRIS experience \- ePeople is a strong plus


• Exposure to payroll coordination and employee data management


• Strong attention to detail


• Comfortable managing high volumes of ad hoc requests without dropping BAU


• Fluent in English; Portuguese is a genuine advantage


• Proficient in Excel and comfortable working across multiple systems simultaneously
