People Operations Lead

Jobbeschreibung

About the role

We’re looking for an People Operations Lead to help shape how we grow - as a team, as a culture, and as a company. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and enjoys partnering closely with managers and employees. You'll combine strategic thinking with operational excellence, ensuring our people processes scale alongside our business.

What you’ll do

• Partner closely with managers and team leads across EMEA and the US to support team growth, performance, and employee development.
• Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle for our global workforce, from offer stage and onboarding through development and offboarding, partnering closely with Employer of Record (EOR) providers.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to managers and employees on people-related matters in a global, cross-cultural environment.
• Lead and continuously improve core HR processes, including performance reviews, feedback cycles, goal setting, and talent planning.
• Coach and support managers through complex employee relations and people challenges across multiple geographies.
• Drive initiatives that enhance employee engagement, company culture, and the overall employee experience across distributed teams.
• Ensure People operations, policies, and processes are scalable, compliant, and aligned with business needs as the company grows.

• Experience working in a high-growth startup or other fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable collaborating across multiple time zones.
• Native-level fluency in English, both written and spoken.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across cultures and organizational levels.
• Proven experience coaching managers through performance, organizational, and employee relations challenges.
