Job description

People Operations Associate

A People Operations Associate to serve as a founding member of Nitra’s People function and build the operational backbone of HR from the ground up. As a Series B company scaling toward unicorn status, we need someone who can stand up the systems, processes, and programs that allow us to hire, develop, reward, and retain exceptional people at pace — without slowing the business down.

This is a rare, high-ownership opportunity to define how a category-defining company runs its People operations. You won’t be inheriting a playbook; you’ll be writing it. You’ll own the infrastructure behind performance reviews, compensation, onboarding and offboarding, compliance, and manager and leadership enablement — partnering directly with leadership across the company. We’re looking for a high-achieving, detail-obsessed operator who treats People Ops as a discipline of systems and rigor, not just policy.

The base salary range for this full-time position is $85k - $120k + bonus + equity + benefits.

Nitra maintains a hybrid work policy, with team members working from the office four days per week and Wednesdays designated as a work-from-home day.

Nitra values diversity. We are committed to equal opportunities and creating an inclusive environment for all our employees. We welcome applicants regardless of ethnicity, national origin or ancestry, gender, race, religious beliefs, disability, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, genetic information, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law.
