Role
Who you are
- A connective force — you thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution across the people function
- An operational architect — you love turning messy, one-off processes into clean, repeatable playbooks, and you find deep satisfaction in building systems that create clarity for others
- A trusted ally — you understand that discretion, follow-through, and professionalism are not nice-to-haves — they are the foundation of the trust that makes this kind of role possible
- A calendar maestro — you see chaos in a busy executive's week as a puzzle to be solved, proactively building structure that protects focus while keeping doors genuinely open
- A dynamic executor — you can shift from owning a department-wide offsite to processing a vendor invoice without missing a beat, because you know it all matters
- 5+ years of demonstrated experience supporting HR or CPO-level leadership with a high standard of professionalism and discretion
- Experience in coordination, events, operations, or administrative roles in a fast-paced environment
- Strong attention to detail and organization, with comfort managing multiple competing priorities, timelines, and stakeholders simultaneously
- Ability to manage logistics end-to-end, including calendars, event budgets, attendee lists, and vendor processes
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with comfort using Slack, Zoom, Workday, and Google Workspace to collaborate asynchronously in a fully remote setting
- Experience managing vendors and processing payment
- Willingness to roll up your sleeves — this role spans the full spectrum from strategic program ownership to expense reports, and both matter equally
- The flexibility to adapt as responsibilities shift quarter to quarter
- Comfort working cross-functionally with colleagues across the People Team and with senior stakeholders across the company
- AI proficiency — you are curious about how AI tools can scale your work and you actively use them to do more with less
What the job involves
- Greenhouse is looking for a People Generalist to join our People Team!
- Reporting to the Chief People Officer, this role is a trusted advisor, program manager, and operational backbone to the people team
- You will act as a strategic extension of the CPO, keeping the People Team's engine running smoothly while ensuring cadence of initiatives land with clarity and purpose
- This is not a role for someone who wants a predictable routine; it is for someone who genuine seeks opportunity to make an outsized impact across the entire People function, at a company that understands the strategic value of investing in People practices
- Represent the People Team and CPO with professionalism in interactions with internal and external stakeholders, including employees, vendors, and senior leadership
- Act as a trusted liaison for the CPO — attending meetings on their behalf, capturing key decisions, and pushing back diplomatically when calendar demand outpaces available time
- Program manage the integrated People Roadmap, tracking cyclical processes and special projects to ensure the team's execution cadence is sequenced, predictable, and high-impact
- Drive operational excellence by connecting the dots across siloed workstreams, turning one-off projects into scalable playbooks
- Proactively identify overlaps, sequencing conflicts, and potential change fatigue across People programs, surfacing recommendations before they become problems for the broader organization
- Identify and implement process improvements that enhance efficiency and clarity across the People Team
- Manage the People Team's operating rhythm: facilitate meeting agendas and ensure strong follow-through on shared goals
- Coordinate complex travel, including detailed itineraries and timely expense reporting
- Execute on People programs end-to-end, including Bonusly distributions, Golden and Silver Gnome award fulfillment, and PX Workday ticket triage across the organization
- Support offsites and events for the People Team and Employee Resource Groups, coordinating travel, accommodations, food, and participant communications
- Support procurement efforts for the People Team, including purchase orders, change orders, invoice processing, and vendor onboarding steps such as legal and security reviews
- Assist Organizational Development programs by supporting onboarding logistics, including facilitator scheduling, new hire surveys, calendar invites, and learning content updates — with growth opportunities to facilitate sessions and support new hires directly
- Take on additional projects and responsibilities as business needs evolve
Application process
- The anticipated closing date for this role is May 1, 2026
Our take
Quality candidates are in demand and have options. It's not easy for companies to make the perfect hire. They face recruitment challenges. Firstly, they have to find the right people to interview. And secondly, they have to demonstrate that they have the right job for them.
Greenhouse is a hiring software company that helps companies optimize their recruitment and become great at it. With over 7,500 customers, the company supports some of the world's most successful companies such as Buzzfeed, Booking.com, HubSpot, and J.D. Power.
In January 2021, TPG Growth acquired a majority stake in Greenhouse with an investment of approximately $500M to support their commitment to improve diversity and reduce inequality in the hiring process.
Since the acquisition, Greenhouse has experienced significant growth, increasing revenues from $86.4M in 2021 to $266.3M in 2024. Its fair to say, the company is seeing great success and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
