At NaviLens, we are redefining accessibility through cutting-edge technology that enables millions of people with visual impairments to interact with their environment independently.

We are a technology company with a clear mission: to make the world more accessible and inclusive.

We are looking for an HR Generalist (People & Operations) to take ownership of our core HR operations — payroll, contracts, and recruiting — while helping us build the people practices of a growing international technology company.

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

Ensure the smooth, accurate, and compliant management of NaviLens’ HR operations (payroll, contracts, labour administration, and hiring), while contributing to the development of our people practices: attracting and retaining talent, improving the employee experience, and strengthening a culture aligned with our mission of accessibility and inclusion.
