- You should have excellent communication skills and understanding of people and business operational related processes. As part of a small company, you will have a high degree of independence and will be expected to make sound decisions and deliver excellent results
- 2-3 years work experience in Customer Service, Office Management, or Business Operations preferably in a startup environment

- Must be a self-starter who is well organized, can handle multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment and has excellent problem-solving skills since the rest of the People Operations team is based in California
- Comfortable switching between working collaboratively as part of a team and working autonomously as needed

What the job involves

- You will help us bring the People Operations services to the next level by supporting our engineering teams in Germany and France
- Be the first point of contact for the European teams: provide consistent support to all team members by answering questions about people initiatives, policies, benefits and any other people, office or internal business related items
- Organize and execute company culture and team building initiatives (like monthly birthday celebrations, anniversaries, team events, etc.)
- Oversee the full employee lifecycle administration process, including onboarding/offboarding, benefits enrollment, leave of absences, and payroll
- Manage procurement for Germany and France including processing of financial transactions like invoices and credit card payments for accounting purposes and resolving discrepancies as needed
- Create a positive image of the company using friendly and efficient service
- Handle diverse administrative tasks like scheduling travel arrangements, expense reimbursements, recruiting, etc
- Play a critical role by effectively establishing and nurturing relationships across the organization as well as measuring and monitoring initiatives to determine effectiveness
- Maintain office operations, leases and build vendor relationships in both locations. You will research the right tools, advocate for company needs, and sync systems to work better together
Our take
Radar technology presents itself as a promising solution for autonomous vehicles and robots to see the obstacles around them. Yet, existing sensors are too low-resolution and struggle under challenging conditions. Solutions are beginning to arise for self-driving cars, but tackling challenges for fully autonomous robotics is significantly more difficult.
Zendar develops software-driven radar technology that augments the capability of radar sensors, leveraging AI to boost signal analysis to a resolution that is ten times higher. Whilst the company's initial focus is on providing its radar solutions for its automobile partnership with Hyundai, it is also developing hardware and software setups for automated agricultural machinery, robotics, and trucking.
One of Zendar's biggest challenges will be the competition it faces from similar high-resolution startups such as Oculii. Despite this serious competition, Zendar stands out due to its semi-supervised machine-learning approach to radar, a technique that has worked excellently for aerial surveillance and has yet to be implemented into street-level hardware.
