Role
Who you are

- You get things done - fast. You can't help but solve problems when you see them, while always keeping a cool head
- You are totally dependable and super responsive to the team’s needs - anyone needs to feel 100% comfortable coming to you for help
Desirable
- Specific experience with both US and UK people ops (you’ll definitely need one or the other!)
- You’ve worked at a startup that went from small to big. You may or may not have had a team help you do this
What the job involves

- You’ll work closely with our experienced VP Ops and own a wide range of general operations responsibilities across multiple areas
- Create, improve, and maintain people ops systems that help us scale as the PostHog team continues to grow
- Take responsibility for our financial ops - including banking, financial accounting, tax filings, and more. Keeping-the-lights-on stuff
- Be the first point of contact for legal - you might be helping our customer success team negotiate a large contract, or making sure we’re on top of our privacy obligations
- Supporting our VP Ops with financial modeling, board prep, and fundraising ops
- Maintain a high bar for the team’s quality of work and performance
Application process
- 3 stages across 2-3 weeks:
- 30min call with Coua (Talent Partner)
- 45min with Charles (VP, Ops), 30min call with James (CEO) and Tim (CTO)
- PostHog SuperDay (paid day of work)
Our take
PostHog is an open-source product analytics company. Its goal is to increase the number of successful products in the world, which starts with providing engineering teams with tools to help them understand user behaviour better.
The company differentiates itself through its aim to become a one-stop-shop for its clients. There are plenty of product analytics tools out there, but many of the alternatives are SaaS-based. While they are very powerful, they can be frustrating for developers who want full access to the underlying data. PostHog's platform puts the control back in the hands of developers and gives them full visibility over the impact of their work.
The company already counts Y Combinator, SpaceX, Staples, Airbus and Hasura among its clients. It has been rapidly shipping major new features and has plans for many more in the coming months and years. The company is set to grow quickly, having recently capitalized on the news that Google Analytics was deemed illegal in some EU countries with clever marketing tactics, which sent 1,791 unique visitors through to its website and substantially raised brand awareness.
