Manager, People Ops & Automation

Role Overview

We’re looking for an AI-forward operator to lead how our People Operations function runs, including the systems, signals, and service model that power the entire employee experience. This role sits at the intersection of data, automation, and people strategy: you’ll use AI and predictive insight to anticipate organizational needs before they become problems, and you’ll lead a team that turns those insights into scalable, human-centered solutions.

What You Will Do

Lead with foresight, not hindsight. Use Jira, Workday, ticketing trends, service-level data, employee experience signals, and capacity data to anticipate where the organization will need to simplify, standardize, automate, or redesign work before issues surface as escalations. Build and scale AI-powered service delivery. Act as a strategic advisor across the People function.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This isn’t a role about maintaining the status quo; it’s about reimagining how a People function should run in an AI-enabled world, faster, smarter, and more responsive to the business.
