People Operations Lead
Success Matcher Recruitment
Our client is a fast-scaling AI startup that recently secured a $61M Series A backed by industry titans like YC President Garry Tan and Nexus Venture Partners. They are currently building real-time AI agents that handle massive operational workflows for global enterprises like DoorDash, processing over 40,000 tickets daily. As the company scales toward 100+ employees, they are looking for a Founding Senior HR Generalist / People Operations Lead . This is a true "greenfield" opportunity. Currently, HR functions are handled by the CEO; you will be the first dedicated hire to step in, take ownership, and build a professional HR infrastructure from the ground up. The Role You will earn trust by mastering the operational fundamentals, eventually unlocking the ability to design the company’s long-term people strategy. Full Lifecycle Ownership: Own onboarding, offboarding, role changes, offer letters, and all employment documentation. System Management: Serve as the "power user" and owner of Rippling , ensuring all HRIS data is clean and actionable. Compliance & Law: Apply expert knowledge of California employment law to manage transitions, terminations, and compliance with high integrity. Benefits & Payroll: Manage benefits administration (health, 401k, broker relations) and partner with Finance to ensure 100% payroll accuracy. Scalable Infrastructure: Transition the company from "startup hustle" to "professional scale" by introducing structured onboarding and performance review cycles. Requirements Experience: 4–7 years of HR/People Ops experience, ideally within a high-growth tech startup. California Expertise: Deep, functional knowledge of California labor laws and compliance. Tech Savvy: Professional experience with Rippling (HRIS) and Google Workspace. Maturity: The ability to handle sensitive employee relations and terminations with care and consistency. Presence: This is a 5-day-a-week on-site role in the Dogpatch district of San Francisco. Why Join? This isn't just an HR job; it’s a founding role at a company with massive enterprise traction and elite venture backing. You will have a direct seat at the table as the company enters its most significant growth phase. #J-18808-Ljbffr Success Matcher Recruitment
