People Operations Specialist - 12 months parental leave cover

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.

As our People Operations Specialist, you'll be the engine that keeps our day-to-day people operations running smoothly. You'll own the operational backbone that our 400+ Mentees rely on — from the systems and policies that make work feel easy, to the daily HR cases that managers bring to your table. Your work makes the difference between People processes that feel like homework and ones that feel like genuine support.

You'll be part of our People & Culture team and work closely with our Senior People Operations Manager, who you'll partner with to make sure Mentimeter's people operations are something both employees and leaders can trust and lean on. This is an interim position, covering for a parental leave of 12 months, starting in September. 

What you will do

Some examples of what you will fill your days with are; 

• Coordinate and project-manage recurring people processes (development cycles, engagement surveys, salary review operations) alongside the Senior People Operations Manager
• Drive operational improvements in how we work — identifying friction, simplifying processes, and bringing AI and automation into the toolkit where it makes sense
• Run our day-to-day people operations end-to-end — VISA applications, onboarding and offboarding admin,  contracts, employment changes, parental leave, sick leave, and everything in between
• Own the back-end of our HR tech system: keep data clean, workflows working, and the system genuinely useful for leaders and Mentees
• Support managers on people cases from a labour law pow — guiding them on what they can and can't do under Swedish labour law, providing templates, and knowing when to escalate to senior expertise
• Structure, write, and maintain people-related information in Notion so it's easy to find, easy to understand, and stays updated
• Support compliance work — making sure statutory obligations, policies, and documentation are in order and up to date

What we believe you come with

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys operations. Someone who finds satisfaction in a well-structured Notion page, a clean Personio workflow, a clearly answered question from a manager who didn't know where to turn. You'll take real ownership of your domain, communicate with clarity, and bring a curious, can-do attitude to how we use AI and automation to make People Operations better, faster, and more accessible.

Background & Skills

• 3+ years of experience in a People/HR Operations, or HR Generalist role
• Solid working knowledge of Swedish labour law and a confident sense of when a case is straightforward vs. when it needs to be escalated
• Strong project management skills — you take clear ownership, deliver on time, and communicate proactively along the way
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English; able to make complex things simple
• A genuine love for operations and admin work — you find satisfaction in things being structured, accurate, and running smoothly
• Experience supporting managers through everyday people cases (sick leave, parental leave, performance concerns, employment changes)
• A curious, can-do attitude toward AI and automation in HR work
• Comfortable working in and maintaining information systems like Notion (or similar)

Please note that this position is located onsite at our office in Stockholm with a hybrid setup. The starting date is flexible, but ideally in the month of September.

At Mentimeter, we believe in fair and transparent compensation that grows with you. The salary range for this role is SEK50,000–SEK62,000 per month. It’s intentionally broad to reflect the different stages of growth within the role: from early development to deep expertise and meaningful impact.

Most people joining start around early or mid range of the span, which represents a strong, fully capable level. Starting below this typically means you’re still developing some key skills but show great potential. Higher salaries are usually reserved for team members who have already made a meaningful impact and bring deep, role-specific expertise.

We’re committed to supporting your growth. You’ll have ongoing development conversations with your manager, and your salary will evolve as you build skills and contribute to our mission.

In addition to your monthly salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package—learn more about it here: https://www.mentimeter.com/benefits/stockholm.
