Why Join

Our client is a fully remote team and always has been. They are proactive about staying connected to each other despite not sharing the same physical space. Remote culture is real, and they care about it—a lot.

They're a team of doers. You’ll be fully supported by your manager and team, but there won’t be anyone peering over your shoulder. You’ll be expected and trusted to take ownership of your work and to communicate clearly and transparently with your distributed teammates.

On a related note, they’re very pro-feedback. From their users, of course. But also from each other. From individual contributors right up to the CEO, this is a team that is genuinely committed to continuous improvement.

About Our Client

At the hiring company, they believe that the best companies in the world consistently deliver products and experiences that their customers love. They also believe that the only way to consistently build those products and experiences is to talk to your customers. Watch what they do. Understand why they do what they do. Figure out why they do things that seem irrational. And once you’ve done that once, do it again. Start having constant conversations. In short, make customers your #1 priority through user research.

That’s why they exist. They help teams set up those conversations, that research, allowing them to discover and embrace user insights. They specialize in participant recruitment and management because you cannot do good research without good participants, no matter how good your other tools may be. They work with hundreds of companies every month, including user-centric organizations like Atlassian, Amazon, and Spotify.

About The Role

As the new People Ops Manager, you will be the guiding light through the entire employee lifecycle, embodying their values of putting people first and welcoming people as they are.

The Employee Journey

Setting the Stage: Recruitment and Onboarding

Imagine this: We've all been there—being a new hire at a new organization. It’s remote, so new hires are curious, excited, and maybe a bit nervous.

You work closely with the Talent Acquisition Manager and team, ensuring that the recruitment and onboarding process is seamless and welcoming. Your magic touch makes every new hire feel valued and excited about joining the team.

You help them understand the culture, the mission, and how they fit into the bigger picture.

Growing Together: Employee Engagement and Development

As employees settle in, you keep the connections strong.

Vendor management is another area where you excel, overseeing relationships with key partners.
When it comes to accommodations and paperwork, you are the go-to person. Although they handle a few items manually, you're always looking for ways to make these processes more robust and efficient.

Farewell, But Not Goodbye: Offboarding

When it’s time for someone to move on, you handle exits with grace and care. You ensure the process is smooth, respectful, and leaves a positive last impression.
