at Lime
🏢 About Lime
Lime is revolutionizing urban mobility with shared electric scooters and bikes, offering eco-friendly transportation solutions that reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion. As a mission-driven company, Lime combines technology with sustainability, creating a dynamic environment where employees contribute directly to making cities more livable. Working at Lime means being part of a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and has a tangible positive impact on urban environments worldwide.
About This Role
This Senior HRIS Analyst role is critical for optimizing Workday systems across EMEA, focusing on complex regional requirements like Working Time Directives, GDPR compliance, and advanced compensation configurations. You'll serve as the technical expert bridging HR, payroll, and compliance teams, ensuring data integrity while proactively solving business challenges through system improvements. Your work will directly support Lime's growth in EMEA by enabling efficient HR operations that comply with diverse regional regulations.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with reviewing and optimizing Workday business processes for UK payroll compliance, then collaborating with HRBPs across Europe to configure solutions for local holiday calendar requirements. You'd likely spend time writing complex reports for audit preparation, troubleshooting Time & Attendance configurations for specific EMEA countries, and leading a meeting with Total Rewards to design Advanced Compensation structures that support Lime's growth objectives.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Lime Is Looking For
- Has 5+ years of hands-on Workday configuration experience, specifically with proven expertise in Time & Attendance (EMEA focus), Advanced Compensation, and Business Process Management modules
- Has led at least one full-cycle implementation or major optimization project in Time & Absence or Advanced Compensation, demonstrating end-to-end project leadership
- Possesses deep understanding of EMEA-specific HR requirements including GDPR, Working Time Directives, varied holiday calendars, and complex overtime rules
- Is a consultative problem-solver who can translate complex business needs into Workday solutions before they become escalations, with strong stakeholder influence skills
📝 Tips for Applying to Lime
Quantify your Workday implementation experience - specifically mention which EMEA countries you've configured Time & Attendance for and highlight any complex regional requirements you've addressed
Create a 'Workday Configuration Portfolio' section in your resume that lists specific modules you've configured (Advanced Compensation, Security, Business Process Framework) and the business outcomes achieved
Reference Lime's sustainability mission in your application materials, showing how your HRIS expertise could support their eco-friendly transportation goals through efficient HR operations
Highlight any experience with SOX compliance documentation and audit preparation specifically within Workday environments
If you have remote work experience with UK/EMEA teams, emphasize your communication strategies for collaborating across time zones and cultures
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Describe a specific EMEA Time & Attendance configuration challenge you solved (e.g., implementing Working Time Directives for multiple countries) and the business impact', 'Explain how your Workday security and business process configuration experience could help Lime maintain GDPR compliance while supporting HR operations', "Connect your experience with Lime's mission by discussing how efficient HR systems support scalable growth for their eco-friendly transportation services", 'Share an example where you proactively identified a business pain point and configured a Workday solution before it became an escalation']
Generate Cover Letter →🔍 Research Before Applying
To stand out, make sure you've researched:
- → Study Lime's expansion in EMEA markets - understand which cities they operate in and the specific employment regulations in those countries
- → Research Lime's sustainability reports and corporate social responsibility initiatives to understand their environmental impact goals
- → Review Lime's company culture and values on their careers page to understand how HR supports their mission-driven approach

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying with generic Workday experience without specifically highlighting EMEA-focused Time & Attendance or Advanced Compensation configuration
- Failing to demonstrate consultative partnership skills - this role requires proactive problem-solving with stakeholders, not just technical execution
- Not showing understanding of the compliance aspects (GDPR, SOX) that are critical for this role in a data-sensitive, publicly-traded company environment
