The Position: We're looking for an experienced People Operations Manager to own the full breadth of HR operations for our growing organization. This person has previously managed HR for a 100+ person company, or a comparable vertical/business unit within a larger organization, and is comfortable operating across both the strategic and tactical sides of HR - from policy and employee relations down to the details of payroll and benefits administration.
Our workforce is global and blended - a mix of full-time employees, Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements, and independent contractors across multiple countries - and we currently operate through a PEO (Rippling). Experience navigating that kind of complexity, and comfort with the compliance nuances it creates, is essential to this role.
What You Will Own:- HR Operations & Compliance. Own day-to-day HR operations across the full employee lifecycle - onboarding, offboarding, leave administration, benefits, and compliance with federal, state, and local employment law.
- Payroll & Tactical HR. Be hands-on with the tactical side of HR, including payroll processing and troubleshooting, benefits administration, and PEO relationship management (currently Rippling).
- Global Workforce Management. Manage HR processes across a blended workforce of FTEs, EOR employees, and contractors in multiple countries, ensuring each classification is handled correctly and compliantly.
- Employee Relations. Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees and managers on HR matters, including performance issues, workplace concerns, and conflict resolution.
- Policy & Documentation. Maintain and evolve employee handbooks, policies, and HR documentation to stay current with a growing, multi-state, multi-country workforce.
- HR Systems & Reporting. Own HR systems administration (Rippling), ensuring accurate records, and provide reporting/metrics to leadership as needed.
- Finance Partnership. Work closely with the CFO on headcount forecasting, compensation administration, and budget-related HR matters.
What You Bring:- 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including prior ownership of HR for a 100+ person company or a comparable-sized business unit.
- Strong working knowledge of global workforce structures - FTEs, EOR arrangements, and independent contractors - and the compliance considerations that come with each.
- Direct experience working with a PEO (Rippling experience a plus).
- Comfortable and capable handling tactical HR functions personally - payroll, benefits administration, systems - not just overseeing them.
- Solid grounding across all core HR disciplines: employee relations, compliance, recruitment, performance management, compensation, and HR systems.
- Excellent judgment and discretion in handling sensitive and confidential matters.
What Makes You Stand Out:- Experience in a fast-growing startup or SaaS environment.
- SHRM-CP or PHR certification.
