HR Systems Graduate

Who We Are

We’re excited to be recruiting for our sister company, Lemon Platypus.

Lemon Platypus is a specialist HR systems consultancy helping small and medium-sized businesses transform how they manage their people. We partner with clients to select, implement, and optimise best-in-class HR platforms, most notably HiBob, alongside Employment Hero and Rippling.

Our role is simple: remove complexity, deliver clarity, and build HR systems that actually work in the real world.

The Opportunity

This is an entry-level role designed for someone starting their career in HR systems, technology, or operations.

As an HR Systems Graduate, you’ll work closely with experienced consultants to support real client implementations. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to how HR systems are designed, built, and rolled out across different businesses and industries.

This isn’t a purely theoretical role. You’ll be working directly inside systems, supporting live projects, and learning by doing.

At times, the work will be detailed and repetitive. That’s part of the process. Building high-quality HR systems requires precision, consistency, and patience. But alongside that, you’ll gain a deep understanding of how businesses operate and how technology supports growth.

What Sets You Apart
