Senior People Operations Generalist, EMEA

We're hiring a Senior People Operations Generalist to join our global People Operations team. You'll support our entire global population — onboarding, compliance, day-to-day HR questions — in true partnership with the rest of the team, with work divided by focus area rather than by region. You'll also take on our global compliance programs almost like a program manager: building them, maintaining them, and continuously improving how they run as we scale into new countries.

Responsibilities

Support the end-to-end employee lifecycle for our global population: onboarding, changes, leaves, exits, and everything in between, as part of a global team with work divided by function and program rather than region alone; Own our global compliance programs like a program manager: build new processes, maintain and improve existing ones (right-to-work, statutory leave, GDPR/data protection, and more), and drive ongoing efficiency as we add countries; Serve as the primary point of contact for employees, managers, and external partners (brokers, EOR providers, government agencies) during EMEA/JAPAC hours, given your time zone and regional expertise; Partner with global payroll and EOR platforms (Deel, Remote, or similar) to manage country-specific new hire and offboarding requirements worldwide; Build and maintain SOPs so global processes are documented and don't depend on tribal knowledge; Represent the broader People Ops team on EMEA/JAPAC matters, using good judgment about what needs to wait for US hours and what doesn't; Partner cross-functionally with People Systems, Legal, IT, Payroll, and Workplace teams based in the US

Requirements

4–6 years of HR/People Ops experience; Experience running compliance like a program: building, maintaining, and improving processes over time, not just administering them; Strong, hands-on knowledge of employment law and compliance in at least one region outside the US; Working knowledge of GDPR and HR data protection requirements; Experience with HRIS/payroll platforms such as Workday, Deel, or Remote; A track record of working independently across a global, distributed team, with good instincts about when to escalate and when to just handle it; A strategic mindset with a strong inclination for program and project management; Excellent written communication, given the async nature of working across time zones; Comfort being the go-to point of contact for a region during your hours, and the confidence to represent the function externally

Nice to have

Time in a mature, multi-country organization; EMEA and/or JAPAC experience
