In progressHRMS case study · Lyearn

From a people list to an org that holds its shape.

Lyearn began by inviting people and listing them. As it grew into an HRMS, HR needed structure: job architecture with job groups, families and profiles, and a place where each job meets a person. I designed that model, the position: a seat in the org that carries a job profile and is filled by someone, or stays open.

The brief · what this module solved

Lyearn knew who worked here, not how the company fits together. I designed Positions: seats that link job architecture to people, so the org survives every hire, exit and reorg.

  1. 01The problem

    A people list isn’t an org.

    Lyearn began with invites and a people list. As it grew into an HRMS, HR needed reporting lines, open roles and job definitions, and every exit left a gap.

  2. 02What I did

    I designed the position model.

    Each position carries a job profile, sits in an org unit, reports to another seat and is filled by a person or stays open. I designed every screen around it.

  3. 03My role

    Sole designer, end to end.

    I shaped the model with engineering, designed every flow and edge state in Figma, and shipped parts of the front end myself with Claude Code.
