People Generalist at Hilbert, managing people operations for a rapidly growing startup. Responsible for building infrastructure to support global team alignment and performance.
Responsibilities
Stand up core people infrastructure from scratch: employment documentation, benefits administration, payroll coordination, and compliance across multiple jurisdictions
Own global employment logistics: contractor-to-employee conversions, EOR/PEO relationships, local labor law compliance, and entity setup support as Hilbert enters new markets
Build and manage relationships with external partners—legal counsel, payroll providers, benefits brokers, immigration advisors—across every geography we operate in
Create and maintain the single source of truth for people data, policies, and documentation
Design and run onboarding that gets new hires productive fast—especially critical for regional leaders deploying into new markets on day one
Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle: onboarding, role transitions, promotions, offboarding, and everything in between
Be the go-to resource for the team on anything people-related—benefits questions, leave policies, workplace issues, or just navigating a fast-moving company
Build rituals, rhythms, and communication structures that keep a distributed team connected and informed
Build lightweight but effective people processes: performance conversations, feedback cadences, career development frameworks, and compensation structures that scale with the team
Surface insights from people data—engagement signals, attrition patterns, onboarding effectiveness—and turn them into action
Partner with Talent Partner/Recruiter hiring managers to keep the candidate experience sharp: coordinate scheduling, manage offer logistics, and ensure a seamless handoff from signed offer to day one
Support the hiring process operationally—maintain the ATS, track pipeline metrics, and help refine interview workflows as hiring volume scales
Requirements
You've been a people generalist or people ops lead at a high-growth startup (ideally Series A–C) and know what it's like to build the plane while flying it
You've built something from scratch—an onboarding program, a people function, an employee handbook for a company that had none—and know the difference between process that enables and process that slows things down
You have hands-on experience with global employment: international labor law basics, EOR platforms (Rippling etc.), multi-country onboarding, and the nuance of building distributed teams
You're a clear, direct communicator who earns trust with founders, managers, and every team member across the org
You're data-informed: you track what matters, spot bottlenecks early, and make decisions based on signal, not instinct alone
You have the resilience and resourcefulness of someone who's operated in environments where the playbook didn't exist yet
You care deeply about the details—because in people ops, the details are the experience.

Competitive base salary plus equity
Compensation details, equity package, and bonus structure shared during the hiring process.
