Role
Who you are
- Our ideal candidate has worked on multiple components of a successful People organization — from employee experience to HR to systems administration, and all the things in between
- 5+ years of experience in HR operations, preferably within a high-growth B2B startup or consulting environment
- Proven track record of building foundational people programs that authentically reflect an organization's unique culture, values, and business strategy
- Demonstrated expertise in administering HR systems (e.g., Sequoia, Sparrow), Applicant Tracking Systems (e.g., Ashby), and Google Workspace
- Experience with payroll administration and understanding of multi-state and international payroll requirements
- Hands-on experience managing visa and immigration processes for international employees
- Strong analytical and reporting skills with the ability to translate HR data into actionable insights for executive decision-making
- Experience designing and implementing effective performance management systems that drive employee growth and organizational success
- Solid understanding of employment-related laws and regulations (state, federal, and international), or a rapid learning capacity to build such expertise
- Exceptional interpersonal skills — ability to make people feel genuinely seen, supported, and welcomed
- Embodiment of a scrappy, adaptable, low-ego approach with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and drive results
What the job involves
- As a People Business Partner, you'll help us build a culture capable of delivering on our bold mission to secure every identity and access pathway
- In this role, you’ll be joining an experienced team with direct experience building through massive growth at companies like ScaleAI, Datadog, Abnormal Security, and Amplitude

- Visa and Immigration Support: Manage the visa application and renewal processes for international employees. Collaborate with legal counsel to ensure compliance with immigration laws and provide guidance to employees navigating the immigration system
- Benefits Administration: Professionally manage our comprehensive suite of health, wellness, and retirement benefits. Collaborate closely with our benefits broker to ensure prompt responsiveness and effective resolution of employee benefits, tax, and administrative matters
- Compliance: Lead and drive all People/HR compliance processes and audits. Proactively assist in updating company policies and procedures to maintain robust legal and regulatory alignment
Our take
A platform focused on decentralising access management for enterprise customers, Opal is a company that offer businesses self-serve catalogues and identity management software to streamline workflows and access company data. In big businesses with large numbers of employees, cloud access can lead to a higher threat of security breaches, a problem that has plagued large companies like Amazon for years.
Opal combines its access management software with approval workflow solutions and customised app catalogues to help enterprises expand and keep secure.
Though it’s a competitive marketplace for security software development companies, Opal uses its founders' backgrounds in software engineering to help simplify the management of who accesses a company's data. Named a Rising in Cyber company 2024 on a list by Notable Capital, Opal has large-scale clients such as Databricks, Switchboard, Coinlist, and Merge under its belt as well as robust investors backing it.
