People Operations Lead

Role Overview

Edra is solving one of the hardest problems in enterprise AI: AI models are generic but company processes are specific. We build AI agents that learn how processes actually run, and then run their operations. The People Operations Lead will own the employee lifecycle end to end in both countries: US and UK payroll, benefits in both regimes, onboarding, and people compliance across two jurisdictions.

What You Will Do

Be the first point of contact for operational people questions (payroll, benefits, leave, equity administration, and employment logistics) and resolve them quickly and clearly. Own US and UK payroll end to end: run it, reconcile it, handle joiners and leavers, catch problems before they reach a paycheck, and fix the ones that do fast.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You’ve owned significant parts of people operations at a startup through a growth phase. You’ve personally processed payroll, fixed benefits enrollment errors, and onboarded new team members, not just managed vendors who did.

• detail-oriented at the level this work requires
• write clearly, especially when explaining equity, benefits, and policy to people who aren’t specialists
• handle confidential comp and performance information with discretion

• Meaningful equity
• Top tier health, dental, & vision plans
• Flexible paid time off
• Lunch provided in office most days
• Snacks & drinks too
• A stipend to set up your workspace
• Private medical & dental coverage in the UK
