In a Nutshell

Vayner is looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented Senior Associate to join our People & Experience Team (PET). Reporting to PET Operations, this role is the operational backbone of our People team, partnering with PET Business Partners, the broader People & Experience Team, and cross-functional stakeholders to keep our people systems, processes, and programs running seamlessly.

You’ll own the systems, data, and day-to-day operations that power the employee lifecycle, from maintaining HR systems and ensuring data integrity to coordinating key initiatives, improving processes, and helping build scalable operations as our business grows.

We’re looking for a doer, someone who enjoys improving processes as much as executing them, loves a well-organized spreadsheet, appreciates the importance of clean data, rolls up their sleeves and takes ownership from start to finish.

Behind every great employee experience is exceptional operational execution.

At Vayner, we’re a team of teachers and lifelong learners. We love mentoring, sharing knowledge, and investing in one another’s growth, while welcoming fresh perspectives that challenge us to improve.

You’ll join a team with incredible institutional knowledge and heart, some members of our People & Experience Team have been with Vayner for more than 17 years. We take immense pride in supporting our people, enabling our business, and delivering exceptional experiences every step of the way.
