Salary
💰 $130,000 - $170,000 per year
About the role
- Own our People systems end-to-end: HRIS, onboarding, benefits, access, documentation. Keep things clean, joined up, and reliable.
- Run the employee experience: from offer → onboarding → changes → leavers. Consistent, clear, and human.
- Build the foundations that let us scale: workflows, templates, policies. Enough structure to work well without slowing people down.
- Handle payroll-related ops: coordinating inputs, deductions, and exit processes.
- Be the go-to person: for lifecycle questions, “how do I…?” moments, and the things that come up when a company is growing fast.
- Automate the repeatable stuff: Slack workflows, self-serve processes, and anything that reduces constant interrupts.
- Continuously improve how things run: you’ll spot what’s clunky, fix it, and make the next version better.
- Own the moments that matter: first days, anniversaries, milestones, and team moments that help a distributed team feel connected.
Requirements
- Startup / high-growth People Ops experience: you’ve done this before and are comfortable building from scratch.
- Systems-first mindset: you care about tools, integrations, and workflows that don’t break under pressure.
- Detail-oriented and discreet: you handle sensitive topics (benefits, payroll, exits) with accuracy and care.
- High ownership: you don’t wait to be told what’s broken — you notice it and fix it.
- Comfortable in distributed, global teams: ideally across the US and Europe, or in a multi-entity setup.
- A culture carrier: you care about the moments and rituals that make work feel meaningful.
Benefits
- Generous early stage options (extended exercise post 2 years employment)
- Regular in person offsites, last were in Morocco and Tenerife
- Bi-weekly team happy hours & events remotely
- Monthly learning budget of $300 for personal development/productivity
- Flexible, remote-first working - including $1K for home office equipment
- 25 days off a year + national holidays
- Healthcare cover depending on location
