People Operations Manager

Role Overview

We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to help build and run the people systems that allow Stuut to scale. This is a foundational People role. You’ll own the core operating infrastructure across the employee lifecycle: onboarding, performance management, employee data, people systems, compliance, documentation, manager support, and employee experience.

What You Will Do

You’ll own and improve the employee lifecycle from onboarding through offboarding. You’ll build a high-quality onboarding experience, manage employee changes, create clear workflows and documentation, identify gaps in current People Operations processes, and implement simple systems that improve execution.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You should be comfortable moving between strategy and execution, writing the policy, fixing the workflow, coaching the manager, updating the HRIS, and improving the process for next time. You’ll work closely with Finance, Legal, Recruiting, Leadership, and managers across the company.

Requirements

• Strong experience building and running core People processes such as onboarding, performance reviews, manager workflows, employee changes, benefits, compliance, and documentation.
• Experience owning HR systems and workflows; experience with Rippling or a PEO environment is strongly preferred.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to drive multi-stakeholder processes end-to-end.
• Excellent judgment, discretion, and professionalism when handling sensitive employee matters.
• Strong written communication skills; you can write a clear policy, manager guide, employee memo, or process doc without needing heavy editing.
• Analytical and systems-oriented; you are comfortable with spreadsheets, HRIS data, dashboards, and operational reporting.
• Practical builder mindset; you know how to introduce structure without creating bureaucracy.
• High emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust with employees, managers, and executives.
• Bias toward action; you solve problems, find answers, and keep moving even when the process is not yet fully defined.

Benefits

• Medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you
• 401(k) & Match
• Equity
• Flexible PTO
• Parental Leave
