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.
What You'll Own
Be a day-to-day partner for managers across the company on people questions, team dynamics, and coaching needs
Partner with the Head of People on employee relations across the team, with case-by-case judgment on who leads. As a general guide, you lead on standard situations (performance concerns, interpersonal friction, accommodations questions, manager-team dynamics) and the Head of People leads on more complex cases or those involving senior team members.
Coach managers and team members through tough conversations and the people matters that come up
Own our core people processes end to end: onboarding, offboarding, benefits administration, compliance documentation, and HR systems. Build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps everything running cleanly.
Identify and implement workflow automations and AI tools that create real leverage and resolve problems across People functions.
Own internal communications across People programs, policy updates, and initiatives, and bring change management experience when processes shift.
Own the operational layer of our performance cycles: setup, timelines, and completion tracking.
Build manager enablement resources managers reach for and be the first call for day-to-day people questions.
Own employee engagement end to end: survey administration, data analysis, and surfacing what the data actually says. Help drive measurable change from employee feedback.
Build and maintain people dashboards and trackers covering People data.
Produce insight-led summaries from data; help us understand what we are seeing, not just what the numbers say.
Lend a hand to Recruiting when needed on coordination and candidate experience.
