• Strong project management skills and ability to execute against deadlines.

Requirements

• Lead a distributed offshore People Ops team; provide coaching and structure to two direct reports.
• Establish workflows, quality standards, and SLAs for onboarding, payroll, and benefits.
• Drive HRIS data integrity, automation, and self-service to reduce manual work and scale operations.
• Oversee end-to-end payroll processing, tax withholding, and year-end reporting (W-2s) for all populations.
• Lead open enrollment and manage the full suite of health and retirement programs, vendor performance, and broker relations.
• Manage EOR partnerships for international employees, including contract updates and cost forecasting with Finance.

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Paid time off and paid parental leave.
• 401(K) plan with employer matching.
