Role
Who you are
- 4–6 years of HR/People Ops experience, ideally including time in a mature, multi-country organization
- 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 — EMEA and/or JAPAC experience preferred, given the time zone value it brings
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- Based in Ireland or the UK, your experience and time zone will naturally make you the go-to person for EMEA and JAPAC coverage — making calls in real time while the rest of the team is offline.
- You'll report to our Senior Manager, People Operations and join a broader team of People Operations Generalists and Coordinators.
- This is a senior generalist role for someone who wants real ownership of a global function, with the backing of a larger team behind them
- 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
Our take
The explosive popularity of generative AI tools has seen specialized solutions popping up for all kinds of industries. Hoping to help supercharge efficiency and productivity for legal teams, Harvey supplies generative AI that can assist with documentation, as well as aid research and optimize workflows.
Via natural language instructions, Harvey helps draft and analyze legal documents. It can also answer complex questions across large document sets, or even handle research queries that cover multiple domains in legal, regulatory and tax.
Its ability to support legal practitioners as if it's another member of the team is what makes Harvey particularly interesting. This approach has seen the company raise substantial funding, reaching Unicorn status in 2024. Funds are now being used to expand to new geographies, grow headcount and further collect and curate data to train more “domain-specific” AI models.
