People Operations Lead

Role Overview

The People Operations Lead will run day-to-day HR and people operations for a team of roughly 80–100 people. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. Leadership sets people strategy and makes decisions on policy, compensation, and organizational changes; you’ll turn those decisions into smooth, consistent, well-run processes.

What You Will Do

Run onboarding and offboarding from start to finish. Administer benefits, PTO, and leave, and coordinate payroll. Maintain employee records and HR systems. Serve as the first point of contact for employee questions about benefits, policies, and HR processes.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role is a great fit if you take pride in operational excellence, like being the person who makes things run reliably, and want to do that work at a fast-growing company. It is not a people strategy or HR leadership role.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in People Operations, HR Operations, or a similar role.
• Experience at a high-growth startup or similarly demanding company.
• Experience supporting a company of roughly 50–200 employees.
• A track record of running processes independently and making them more efficient.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Good judgment and discretion with sensitive information.
• Clear, direct communication, including the ability to deliver difficult or unpopular news with professionalism.
• Comfort carrying out decisions made by leadership and representing them consistently to employees.
• The ability to prioritize, solve problems, and follow through without constant direction.
• Working knowledge of HR systems, benefits, payroll coordination, and employment documentation.
