Find cutting-edge, next-generation HR roles!

People Operations, or People Ops for short, focuses on the management of an organization's employees, from hire to retire and everything in between.

You might be thinking, "but that's just HR!" And you'd be half right.

People Ops is the future of HR. As companies become more employee-centric, so too does HR. Traditionally, HR processes revolve around compliance, payroll, benefits, and employee management.

Those things aren't going away. But People Ops ensures that teams are proactive rather than reactive.

People Ops teams achieve this through an employee-first attitude and a data-focused mentality. Metrics such as turnover, time-to-hire, median tenure, and employee satisfaction are paramount.

As a result, more and more companies are hiring "People" professionals instead of the age-old HR roles such as benefits administrator or HR coordinator. By doing so, companies hope to empower their employees for day-to-day success.

What kind of People jobs are out there?

Here's a list of some People jobs we've come across:

People Operations Manager Associate Director, People Development People Analytics Lead Coordinator, People Operations Vice President of People & Culture Chief People Officer People Initiatives Coordinator Recruiting Manager - People & Recruiting Workplace Coordinator

There are, of course, many more titles out there. But hopefully this list gives you a taste of the opportunities.
