About the role

  • People Generalist at Hilbert, managing people operations for a rapidly growing startup. Responsible for building infrastructure to support global team alignment and performance.

Responsibilities

  • Stand up core people infrastructure from scratch: employment documentation, benefits administration, payroll coordination, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions
  • Own global employment logistics: contractor-to-employee conversions, EOR/PEO relationships, local labor law compliance, and entity setup support as Hilbert enters new markets
  • Build and manage relationships with external partners—legal counsel, payroll providers, benefits brokers, immigration advisors—across every geography we operate in
  • Create and maintain the single source of truth for people data, policies, and documentation
  • Design and run onboarding that gets new hires productive fast—especially critical for regional leaders deploying into new markets on day one
  • Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle: onboarding, role transitions, promotions, offboarding, and everything in between
  • Be the go-to resource for the team on anything people-related—benefits questions, leave policies, workplace issues, or just navigating a fast-moving company
  • Build rituals, rhythms, and communication structures that keep a distributed team connected and informed
  • Build lightweight but effective people processes: performance conversations, feedback cadences, career development frameworks, and compensation structures that scale with the team
  • Surface insights from people data—engagement signals, attrition patterns, onboarding effectiveness—and turn them into action
  • Partner with Talent Partner/Recruiter hiring managers to keep the candidate experience sharp: coordinate scheduling, manage offer logistics, and ensure a seamless handoff from signed offer to day one
  • Support the hiring process operationally—maintain the ATS, track pipeline metrics, and help refine interview workflows as hiring volume scales

Requirements

  • You've been a people generalist or people ops lead at a high-growth startup (ideally Series A–C) and know what it's like to build the plane while flying it
  • You've built something from scratch—an onboarding program, a people function, an employee handbook for a company that had none—and know the difference between process that enables and process that slows things down
  • You have hands-on experience with global employment: international labor law basics, EOR platforms (Rippling etc.), multi-country onboarding, and the nuance of building distributed teams
  • You're a clear, direct communicator who earns trust with founders, managers, and every team member across the org
  • You're data-informed: you track what matters, spot bottlenecks early, and make decisions based on signal, not instinct alone
  • You have the resilience and resourcefulness of someone who's operated in environments where the playbook didn't exist yet
  • You care deeply about the details—because in people ops, the details are the experience.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary plus equity
  • Compensation details, equity package, and bonus structure shared during the hiring process.
