Your Role:

We’re looking for a People Operations Partner to be a reliable, high-touch operator for our global workforce. You’ll own the day-to-day People Ops engine such as onboarding, offboarding, employee lifecycle transactions, data quality, and employee support while also stretching into employee relations support and cross-functional People projects as needed.

This is a hands-on, execution-first role: roughly 70% core People Operations and 30% adjacent work (employee relations support, analytics, systems, and special projects). You’ll work across regions and time zones, not as a single-region specialist, and you’ll help keep our processes consistent, compliant, and human as we scale.

If you like making operations feel invisible when they work and you’re curious about how AI and modern HR systems can take the busywork out of People work this role will fit.

What you’ll do

  • Process a high volume of employee lifecycle work such as onboarding, offboarding, transfers, job/comp changes, and related requests. Coordinate cross-functional follow-through so employees and managers get timely, high-quality support.
  • Partner with employees and leaders across regions and time zones. Execute global People processes while navigating local nuances so support feels consistent and locally aware.
  • Provide benefits support where needed, including answering employee questions, helping with enrollments or life event changes, and coordinating with vendors or specialists on more complex issues.
  • Maintain accurate, audit-ready employee files and HRIS records. Flag data gaps, process breaks, and compliance risks early, and help keep the People tech stack running smoothly.
  • Triage employee and manager questions on policies, processes, benefits, and systems. Know when to resolve it yourself, when to loop in Benefits/Payroll/Legal/IT, and when to escalate.
  • Handle sensitive situations with discretion and sound judgment.
  • Pull and clean reports from the HRIS and adjacent systems (headcount, starters/leavers, tenure, and other people metrics). Help maintain dashboards and turn raw data into clear, usable summaries for the People team and leadership.
  • Support high-impact People initiatives: HRIS/ATS improvements, workflow redesign, policy rollouts, audit prep, and other cross-functional projects.
  • Look for practical ways to use AI and automation to reduce manual work (FAQs, documentation, reporting, request triage, process mapping) while staying thoughtful about privacy, accuracy, and employee trust.

What we’re looking for

Required

  • 1–3 years in People Operations, HR Operations, HR Coordinator/Generalist, or a closely related role
  • Experience supporting the employee lifecycle (onboarding, offboarding, and day-to-day HR transactions)
  • Comfort working with a global or multi-country workforce, or clear evidence you can learn local nuances quickly and operate across time zones
  • Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through in a high-volume environment
  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication including with employees and managers
  • Discretion with confidential employee information
  • Confidence in spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets) and HR systems; able to pull reports, spot data issues, and keep records clean
  • A service mindset: you default to helpful, calm, and reliable, even when volume is high
  • Comfort in a fast-moving environment: you can juggle competing priorities, stay composed when things are busy, and still deliver accurate work without losing the human touch

Nice to have

    • Hands-on experience with modern HRIS platforms such as HiBob, Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, or similar
    • Exposure to employee relations (intake, documentation, case tracking, or supporting investigations)
    • Experience supporting employee benefits (questions, enrollments, life events, or vendor coordination)
    • Experience supporting systems or process projects (HRIS implementation, workflow redesign, audit, or policy rollout)
    • Genuine interest in AI and how it can improve People operations (tools, prompts, automation, documentation)
    • Startup, high-growth, or similarly fast-paced experience
    • Experience in a remote or multi-entity environment

How We Take Care of You:

  • Competitive Salary & Stock Options
  • Health Benefits
  • New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
  • Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card

Alpaca is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to pursuing and hiring a diverse workforce.

Unwavering, goal-oriented culture

Our teams are goal-oriented. We care about doing the work and solving the problem together. We welcome questions from all levels because we know that no one knows all the answers. Your goal isn't to be the smartest in the room. Your goal is to help solve problems no one has solved before by driving impact in areas you're strongest. And with a positive mindset, we set out to own the unknown and thrive in situations where we have to learn to succeed.

Our goal together is to make sure that the right questions are heard no matter who they come from, and the right solutions are built no matter who builds them.

Global mindset, globally distributed

We are living in unprecedented times - our global economy is tightly interwoven while constantly expanding and transforming. The future of financial innovation will never belong to just one country. As we work to provide access to financial services for everyone on the planet, it's important for us to build a global team of agile talent with vibrantly diverse cultural experiences.

Radical, honest, and empathy-driven

We're a startup with products that are disrupting an old industry. We see the opportunity and it's clear to us that our impact is going to be massive. We want to be a team that's ready for the ups and downs. We move fast and try our best to bring honesty and clarity when we communicate. Each of us brings to the table unique life experiences and diverse backgrounds - these experiences are valued and we don't take it for granted. We want to learn about you and want you to learn about us, working together to build empathy every step of the way.

In order for us to achieve our goal of providing access to financial services for everyone on the planet, it is critical for us to maintain high-trust partnerships and act with honesty and empathy. During this journey together, we'll be learning about the world together, through our relationships with each other. This is just the beginning and we would love to work with you!
