Who We Are
At Lemon Platypus, we help small and medium-sized businesses take the hassle out of HR systems — from choosing the right tools and setting them up properly, to providing ongoing support when it's needed. We work with platforms like HiBob, Employment Hero, and Rippling, and we're proud to be a certified HiBob implementation partner. We're a small, close-knit team, and we care about doing this properly: no cutting corners, no leaving clients to figure it out on their own.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Project Manager to bring structure and momentum to how we deliver HR systems implementations for our clients. You'll be the person keeping multiple projects on track at once — clear on where each one stands, what's coming next, and what needs to happen to get there. This is a hands-on role: you won't just be reporting on progress, you'll be driving it.
What You'll Be Doing
- Systems & Process Oversight
- Keeping a clear, up-to-date view of every implementation project we're running or planning
- Helping us document and continually improve how we run implementations — from discovery through to go-live and hypercare
- Sequencing projects sensibly so our team's time and our clients' expectations are always aligned
- Partner & Vendor Coordination
- Communicating milestones clearly to the partners and vendors involved in each project
- Following through on the actions that come out of those conversations — system updates, configuration changes, approvals, whatever's needed
- Chasing outstanding items so they don't quietly become blockers
- Team Capacity
- Keeping an eye on who's working on what across the team, and flagging early if something's going to be a stretch
- Helping us plan resource sensibly across concurrent projects
- Project Controls
- Making sure every project starts with a proper plan, clear scope, and defined success criteria
- Keeping the basics in place — status updates, risk logs, change control — and making sure they're actually used, not just written down
- Reporting on how things are going, honestly and clearly, so nothing comes as a surprise
What We're Looking For
- Solid project management experience, ideally across multiple concurrent workstreams
- Comfortable working directly with external partners and vendors, not just internal teams
- Naturally organised — you like things written down and tracked, not just remembered
- Experience in HR systems/HRIS projects is a big plus, but not essential if you've got strong transferable PM experience
- Clear communicator, calm under pressure, good at chasing without being a nag
What You'll Get
- A focused team where your work is visible and valued
- Variety — no two client projects look the same
- The chance to shape how we run project delivery, not just fit into an existing process
