About The Team

We’re not your typical People Operations team. We aren’t focused on writing policies or telling people what they can’t do; we work on solving tough problems, like the right cadence and approach for feedback, and sourcing, hiring, and developing an all-star team. If you ask anyone here what they think about our team, we will hope they would say: “They enforce high standards across the org”, “they are my go-to for leadership development” and “They are some of the most strategic thinkers and problem solvers in the org”.

Experience

• Ability to effectively write standard operating procedures (SOPs) and maintain documentation.
• Ability to work with confidential information and situations with professionalism.

• Ability to make decisions independently as well as effectively explain the decision-making process to a team.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• Experience with Google Suite and Super Admin privileges.

Need to Have (Values):

• • First Principles Thinking - We don’t follow suit and build what others are building - we build something new and better. We work backward from data, feedback, and information to create the best solution possible, even if it means starting over from scratch. We don’t do something because it’s what we have always done, or because some person or book told us we should; we do the best thing, even if it’s hard and uncomfortable.
  • Judgment - You aren’t afraid to make decisions and exercise independent judgment, and when you do, you are usually right. This doesn’t mean you can’t ever make a mistake, but it does mean that you are above average when it comes to making judgment calls.
  • Initiative and Resourcefulness - When you see an issue, you jump in and fix it. When you don’t know where to start, you lean on your intuition and judgment and just start somewhere. You work independently to achieve your goals and pull in other members of the team when necessary. You are resourceful in finding answers and solutions on your own whenever possible because that is how you learn and grow.
  • Integrity - You do not share the confidential and sensitive information you have access to with others (unless given permission), and you never use that information for your own gain. We’re intellectually honest, and when we make mistakes, we raise them as quickly as possible.
  • Ownership - While you may be assigned a specific task or responsibility, you have a high sense of ownership over everything that touches People Ops. When you see an issue, you either take ownership of fixing it yourself, or you find the best person to fix it and flag it to them. We own our work to the fullest, and the buck stops with us.
