Your Role

We’re looking for a detail-obsessed, systems-savvy People Operations Partner to help build and scale the backbone of our globally distributed team. If you thrive in bringing order to ambiguity and get genuine satisfaction from creating seamless, behind-the-scenes systems — this role is for you.

In this role, you’ll partner across People, Finance, Legal, and IT teams to streamline operations, ensure clean and reliable data, and help scale the tools and infrastructure that power everything from onboarding to compensation cycles. You’ll be the engine behind our People programs, designing processes that are not only functional but delightful — always with an eye toward clarity, automation, and scale.

This is a great opportunity for someone who blends operational excellence with a service mindset and enjoys building the scaffolding that makes a high-performing team hum.

Your Responsibilities

People Data Infrastructure:
Clean up legacy data across HRIS, ATS, Lattice, spreadsheets, and more. Build systems that help us track, surface, and act on People data with confidence and compliance.
Cross-Functional Enablement:
Act as the connective tissue across Payroll, Legal, Finance, and IT to ensure everything from onboarding to offboarding runs smoothly and securely.
Compensation Operations:
Help model and operationalize global comp cycles, including token-based structures. You’ll focus on transparency, accuracy, and scalability — no spreadsheet left behind.
People Program Execution:
Own the logistics, tooling, and data prep for key People initiatives like performance reviews, engagement surveys, and compensation cycles. If it touches our team’s experience, you’re in the loop.
Systems & Documentation:
Build and maintain clear, accessible resources (dashboards, SOPs, Notion pages) that make self-service easy and support confident decision-making.

What You'll Need

5+ years of experience in People Operations, People Analytics, or Total Rewards — ideally in high-growth or web3 environments.
Strong analytical chops, with fluency in spreadsheets and/or BI tools.
Experience working with modern People tools (e.g., Rippling, Workday, Lattice, Ashby, Notion, Jira).
Familiarity with web3-native reward structures or token comp is a big plus.
Stellar documentation skills and attention to detail — the kind that makes processes repeatable and scalable.
Collaborative, global mindset — you’re comfortable working across time zones and cultures.
Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) in English.
Self-starter energy. You’re resourceful, proactive, and thrive in decentralized environments.
