Job Requirements

  • You've worked in enough different environments to have a real sense of what good looks like. You hold yourself to it.
  • You don't need the full picture to respond well. You know when to move and when to ask a harder question first.
  • You're direct with people, including when it's uncomfortable. Feedback doesn't get softened into confusion, and people still trust you after.
  • You assess risk quickly. Not just what could go wrong, but what's actually likely to and how much it matters.
  • You know when to escalate and when to just decide. You're not afraid to decide.
  • Background at early-stage companies where People and Ops significantly overlapped. You've likely done this job without the exact title.
  • Direct experience building or significantly iterating programs across multiple People COEs
  • Specific examples of navigating ambiguous situations with real stakes, and clarity on how you decided what to do
  • Experience in benefit and leaves administration
