Role
Who you are
- You bring 4+ years of People/HR experience, ideally from a high-growth environment where you’ve worn multiple hats and made things happen
- You’re passionate about building smooth, reliable employee experiences and constantly look for ways to make them more magical
- You think in systems: always asking how tools, workflows, or automation can eliminate manual steps and create better outcomes
- You thrive in fast-moving, unstructured environments and can design smart, scalable processes without waiting for perfect inputs
- You take ownership - driving work forward proactively and following through without being asked twice
- You earn trust quickly and communicate with clarity, whether with employees, managers, or executives
- You sweat the details and care about accuracy, but you also move with urgency to keep pace with the business
- Located in NYC with the ability to work in the office 1–2 times a week
What the job involves
- As our People Operations Lead, you’ll run the HR operations that form the backbone of Hightouch’s People function. This role is about building and running the core people processes with an eye towards optimizing our systems so they scale with us as we grow. You’ll make sure the fundamentals - onboarding, benefits, HR systems, data, and compliance - are tight, so our managers and employees can focus on doing their best work. A unique opportunity to get under the hood of what it takes to manage the operations behind a global, high-growth workforce
- Own the employee lifecycle: Run onboarding, offboarding, role changes, and other key moments with consistency, speed, and attention to detail
- Manage benefits and leaves: Administer health, retirement, and leave programs; ensure every step is handled smoothly, is compliant with regulations, and leaves employees feeling supported and informed
- Keep systems humming: Oversee HR systems (Rippling, Remote, Lattice), maintain data integrity, improve workflows, and automate recurring tasks
- Operationalize compliance: Stay ahead of employment law updates, policies, and documentation requirements to reduce risk and ensure smooth audits
- Be the go-to: be the point person for employee questions on People programs, benefits, payroll, and more, while also building self-service resources that make answers easy to find
- Manage our global workforce through EOR partners: Oversee day-to-day operations with vendors like Remote.com, ensuring compliant hiring, smooth employee experience, and consistent processes across countries
Our take
The use of data integration software involves combining data from different sources to provide users with a unified view. Due to the growing need to combine several heterogeneous data sources, along with the rise of cloud computing, demand for effective data integration tools and services has been increasing.
While Fivetran is one of the most prominent platforms companies use to “extract, transform, and load” data into its warehouse, Hightouch does the opposite of that, what has become known as “reverse ETL.” For example, a company could use Fivetran to get the data into its warehouse and then use Hightouch to get the data from the warehouse and into Salesforce.
Hightouch serves a diverse range of clients, from B2B giants like Kong, Plaid, and Mattermost to B2C leaders like Nando's and Autotrader. With recent acquisitions including the product-led sales automation startup Workbase and the knowledge management startup Whatis, alongside an expanded partnership with Snowflake, Highlight continues to enhance its capabilities and provide seamless data activation for its growing customer base.
