International Benefits Operations Specialist 

Remote (UK-based) | 6-Month Contract


Are you a detail-driven Benefits Operations professional with a knack for Workday and a passion for process improvement? Ready to work remotely and make an impact on a global scale? We’ve got a role that puts your benefits expertise front and centre.

A leading international tech-driven company is seeking an experienced Benefits Operations Specialist to join their HR team on a 6-month contract (with strong potential for extension). This is a fantastic opportunity to work with cross-functional teams, support global payroll and benefits programmes, and be the behind-the-scenes engine that keeps everything running smoothly.
What you'll be doing:
  • Lead and support benefits-related projects in partnership with HR teams.
  • Manage Workday benefits and absence configurations, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
  • Support payroll preparation through benefits reporting and data audits.
  • Resolve Tier 2 employee benefit queries—the tricky stuff that needs your know-how.
  • Own vendor management, from procurement to PO/invoice tracking.
  • Identify opportunities for process automation and operational improvements.
  • Maintain compliance with local regulations across multiple regions.
What we're looking for:
  • 5–7 years in Benefits Operations, HRIS, or a similar HR function.
  • Proven experience with Workday – especially in benefits and absence management.
  • Strong analytical and project management skills.
  • Experience managing vendors, invoices, and POs.
  • Highly organised, independent, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, global environment.
What’s on offer?
  • Fully remote (UK-based candidates only)
  • Initial 6-month contract, with a strong chance of extension
  • An opportunity to work on a truly global scale
  • Day-to-day variety, autonomy, and the ability to drive positive change
