Who We Are

Datassential is a global food and beverage intelligence platform. By embracing billions of data points and AI, we offer a suite of innovative solutions that empower over 90% of the largest global brands in the food & beverage ecosystem to more effectively develop, market, and sell their products.

Datassential, headquartered in Chicago, USA, has gained momentum in global markets through its acquisition of CHD Expert (HQ: France) in 2022. Datassential recently received investment from New Mountain Capital and Endicott Capital, two top tier private equity firms. This significant milestone in our company’s journey enables us to accelerate our product roadmap and enhance our R&D efforts to deliver even more value-added features and solutions for our clients.

Our global, remote-first team celebrates diverse backgrounds and new perspectives while cultivating expertise in all things food and beverage. Food brings people together, and there's room for everyone at Datassential's table.

What We Need

At Datassential, we’re looking for a People Operations Specialist who’s all about making work life smoother, simpler, and more enjoyable for our team. You’ll be the go-to person for day-to-day HR needs, keeping our people processes running like clockwork, and helping us shape a great employee experience as we continue to grow.

This isn’t just an HR desk job—you’ll get to work closely with a seasoned, supportive People team, bring fresh ideas to the table, and have a real impact at a fast-growing global company. If you’re curious, resourceful, and excited about reimagining what “People Ops” can be, we’d love to have you on our team.

What You Will Do

• Be the friendly first stop for employees with HR questions—making sure they get clear and timely answers.
• Run the nuts and bolts of People Ops: onboarding, offboarding, data management, and keeping our HR systems up to date.
• Partner with payroll and benefits providers to keep everything accurate and seamless.
• Help us stay compliant (yes, the fun legal stuff too!) and support audits and reporting when needed.
• Jump in on people programs like performance reviews, engagement surveys, and new initiatives that make work better.
• Spot ways to streamline processes and make things easier for employees and the People team alike.
• Keep employee records organized, accurate, and always handled with care.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in HR, People Ops, or a related role.
• Solid understanding of HR basics and processes.
• Super organized with a sharp eye for detail.
• A flexible, problem-solving mindset—you’re not thrown off by ambiguity and love finding solutions.
• A genuine passion for improving employee experience and keeping things simple.

If you like the idea of combining HR know-how with creativity, collaboration, and a chance to make work feel better for everyone, you’ll fit right in.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-linked bonus
• Affordable health insurance; includes a no cost employee-only plan
• Paid parental leave
• 401K with dollar-for-dollar company match up to 5%
• Unlimited PTO, recharge days, and Christmas through New Year break

Our Table Welcomes All. We embrace diversity of both background and thought and foster an inclusive environment that extends an open landscape of opportunities to everyone.
