More about the role:

Burson’s Global People Team is seeking to hire a People Operations & Systems Coordinator. If you are the kind of person who color-codes spreadsheets for fun, double-checks details instinctively, and gets a thrill from making complex operations run smoothly behind the scenes, keep reading.

Our People Team’s mission is to enable sustainable business growth through the art and science of unlocking human potential. The Global People Operations & Systems Coordinator plays a foundational role on that journey. You will sit at the intersection of people, process, and technology, helping ensure our global HR operations are accurate, efficient, and continuously improving.

This is an ideal entry-level role for a true HR “unicorn”: someone who is equally comfortable handling administrative work and digging into data, who is hungry to learn how global People Operations really work, and who takes pride in doing whatever it takes to get the job done right.

You will gain exposure to global HR systems, data governance, process design, and cross-functional collaboration, all while building a rock-solid operational skill set that can take your career in many directions.

This opportunity isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It is about building the foundation that allows our People team to scale, innovate, and support employees around the world. If you want a role where your attention to detail actually matters, where you can grow from executor to expert, and where no two days look exactly the same, this is it.

If you are ready to roll up your sleeves, learn fast, and become indispensable, we would love to meet you.
