At Journi, we’re on a mission to build the world’s most-downloaded printing app.
With over 10 million users worldwide, we help people turn their favorite moments into beautifully designed Photo Books and Prints. Our smart AI makes the process fast, simple, and joyful, so our users can spend less time editing and more time reliving their best stories.
We’re on the lookout for an enthusiastic Senior HR Operations Specialist who loves bringing structure to the chaos, someone who finds genuine joy in making people processes run like clockwork, and who wants to make a real impact in a fast-growing scaleup.
🚀 What You'll Do
- Own our core HR operations: from drafting and managing employment contracts to keeping our HRIS (Personio) accurate and up-to-date and making sure nothing slips through the cracks
- Be our go-to expert on Austrian labor law and compliance, proactively flagging changes and translating legal requirements into clear, practical processes
- Take ownership of payroll preparation and coordination with our external payroll provider, ensuring our people are paid correctly and on time - every time
- Build and maintain meaningful people data and reporting, turning HR metrics into insights that help the business make better decisions
- Handle the operational side of onboarding and offboarding - from system setup and document management to making sure every new joiner hits the ground running on day one and every departure is handled smoothly
- Continuously look for ways to improve and automate our HR processes, reducing manual work and freeing up the team to focus on what matters most
- You have three or more years of experience in HR operations, people ops, or a similar role - ideally in a tech company or startup/scaleup environment
- You know Austrian labor law inside and out and feel confident navigating compliance topics independently
- You’re an HRIS power user - you pick up new tools quickly and love finding smarter ways to work
- You’re detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture; you catch the small things before they become big things
- You communicate clearly and kindly - whether you’re explaining a payroll process or delivering tricky news, people always feel respected and informed
- You’re proactive and self-driven: you spot a gap, you fix it, without waiting to be asked
- You have the right to work in the EU/Austria and are based in Vienna or open to relocating
- Hands-on experience with Personio
- Experience with visa processes, employee relocation, or workations
- Experience with HR process automation tools or workflows
- German language skills (conversational or above)

- A fair annual gross salary starting at € 50.000. Our final offer depends on your experience and qualifications.
