As we continue our transition toward a 100% AI-native product and People function at Lucanet, we are seeking a Senior People Operations Specialist (based in Madrid) to define strategic direction and drive operational excellence across the entire employee lifecycle.

This is not a purely execution-focused role. You will play a critical part in shaping how People Operations evolves and scales alongside the company’s growth. You will set best-in-class standards for compliance, data integrity, and operational efficiency, while acting as a trusted advisor to People leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Bringing deep operational expertise and a forward-thinking mindset, you will leverage technology, automation, and AI to build a People Operations function that is scalable, compliant, and truly employee-centric.

This role is ideal for a seasoned HR professional with strong end-to-end People Operations experience, who is passionate about enhancing both employee experience and operational performance.

 

• Deliver Operational Excellence and Drive Process Improvement
• Take full ownership of end-to-end People Operations processes within a shared services environment, covering the entire employee lifecycle (hire to retire).
• Execute core operational activities with precision—including personnel administration, documentation, and payroll inputs—ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and consistency.
• Support the evolution of a modern, scalable People Operations shared service function focused on efficiency, quality, and employee-centricity.
• Act as a go-to expert for complex and sensitive cases, stepping in where judgment and deep expertise are required.
• Identify inefficiencies and actively improve processes, balancing hands-on delivery with continuous optimization.
• Optimize HR systems and lead the implementation of automation and AI-driven solutions to reduce manual effort and improve service quality.
• Collaborate closely with People Business Partners, Employee Relations, Talent, and other stakeholders to align operations with business needs.
• Act as an escalation point and trusted advisor for operational and employee-related topics.

 

• A degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field—or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of experience in People Operations / HR, with a strong track record of owning and managing complex, end-to-end processes at scale; experience in a fast-growing or tech-driven environment is a plus.
• Experience working in a Shared Services or centralized People Operations function, supporting multiple countries and operating with ticketing/workflow systems
• Proven ability to lead initiatives from concept to execution and influence stakeholders across the business without direct authority.
• Strong, hands-on expertise in labor law, payroll, and employee benefits, ideally across multiple countries or jurisdictions.
• Demonstrated success in process improvement, standardization, and automation, including hands-on experience with HR technologies and AI-driven tools.
• Solid experience working with HRIS platforms
• Fluency in English; additional languages are a plus.
