Role Overview

This role is for someone who runs toward operational excellence and the moments that actually shape how a company works: a well-run performance cycle, an insight that changes how a leader makes a decision, an employee who felt seen because someone followed through. You are fluent at both ends of the work. You can sit with a manager through a hard conversation in the morning and build the dashboard that contextualizes it in the afternoon. You care deeply about how a remote, globally distributed team actually feels to work in, and you’re hands-on with the tools that help People work scale without losing its human edge. You’ll be the operational backbone of the People function and the data layer underneath it. Operationally, you set a high bar for yourself — the details matter to you, and it shows. You’ll partner closely with the Head of People, owning a wide surface area independently while knowing when to pull someone in.

Role & Team Impact

As our Senior People Generalist, you’ll be a trusted partner to managers and a coach to team members throughout their employee lifecycle. You own the infrastructure and the programs that make the function run well every day.
