Role Summary

We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to join our team and help us build the operational heartbeat of our people function. You’ll be our go-to for making sure our people systems, data, and workflows are buttoned-up, while also helping shape a positive, high-trust employee experience.

This role sits at the center of our people processes, from performance cycles to payroll support to building smart workflows that help teams do their best work. You’re a detail-obsessed problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. You’re proactive, highly organized, and you bring a people-first mindset to everything you do.

Key Responsibilities

People Systems & Data

• Own and maintain our HRIS and people systems, ensuring clean and accurate data
• Create ad-hoc and automated reports and dashboards to help us make smart, data-driven decisions
• Spot trends, flag potential issues, and help keep us audit-ready at all times
• Proactively improve workflows and processes to scale with our team
• Support the administration and execution of tasks for all relevant People Services such as onboarding, offboarding, policies or relocation & visas
  
  

People Programs & Performance

• Run core People Ops programs like basic reward initiatives
• Partner with stakeholders to make sure people processes actually work for the people using them
• Stay ahead of key operational deadlines (payroll, benefits, compliance), keeping everything moving smoothly
  
  

Contracts & Compliance

• Support contract management and get familiar with relevant clauses
• Handle confidential information with complete discretion
• Surface potential compliance risks and propose smart, actionable fixes
  
  

Team Enablement & Culture

• Be a visible, approachable partner across the company—someone people trust and enjoy working with
• Bring energy, positivity, and clarity to every interaction, meeting, and message
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Experience working in People Ops (or similar HR/People roles) in a fast-moving environment
• Proficiency in HRIS tools, reporting, and workflow design (bonus points if you’ve worked with platforms like BambooHR)
• Experience processing payroll in collaboration with external payroll providers in particular in Germany (UK or Portugal is a plus)
• Super organized and detail-oriented - you spot issues before they become problems
• Strong judgment and integrity, especially when handling sensitive or confidential info
• Able to manage multiple streams of work without dropping the ball
• Confident communicator who works well across teams and functions
• Excited to create processes and build structures from scratch when needed
• A natural “people person” who makes teams stronger just by being in the room
• German C1 required
