People Operations Manager

Are you that rare combination of people and process where you enjoy sitting at the intersection of company culture and the operations necessary to keep this rocket in flight?

As the People Operations Manager at NEAR, you will hold company culture and personnel in your hands, playing an integral role in how we source externally and how our team functions internally. This means planning and executing our performance review process, helping onboard new team members, and supporting our cultural growth over time by whatever means necessary. You will also be the duct tape that holds many of the other company operations together too.

But you know this because you’ve done it before. You know that this role really means you're a “Swiss Army knife who can do a lot of different things”. You’re the right fit for this role if you’ve taken on the challenges of building teams in an early stage startup and come back looking for more.

Specifically, you will be successful if you are both an energetic people person and a detail-oriented operations thinker. If you’ve purchased crypto tokens, used a DApp, automated a spreadsheet operation with Zapier or even figured out how to hack together a web app to take care of repetitive tasks, we’re in the right ballpark. The best candidates will have already worked in multiple early stage startups in an ops role, HR role or both.

The role grows with the team -- you will be able to take on as much as you can handle and more. We believe in finding the right fit for your interests and skills.

## Key Outcomes:

1. Build and manage a consistent and effective candidate interview process
2. Perform initial round interviews with high quality candidates
3. Help the work culture become as joyful and productive as it can be
4. Handle employee onboarding, offboarding and similar operations
5. Handle diverse internal operations ranging from performance reviews to benefits renewal

## Requirements:

1. 5+ years of success in an operations, recruiting, HR or Ops/HR role in a startup environment.
2. Stellar attention to detail and process orientation.
3. You must be based in the US and familiar with federal/state (ideally CA) employment law.
