People Ops Manager

About Evvy At Evvy, we believe the female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery. We are a precision women’s health company leveraging the vaginal microbiome to improve outcomes across a woman's lifespan. Backed by $30M+ from leading investors, we serve over 100,000 patients and 2,000 providers nationwide with our validated Vaginal Microbiome Test and AI-powered personalized care platform.

We serve 100,000+ patients and 2,000 providers nationwide, with rapidly growing revenue and an expanding suite of diagnostics and treatments to improve outcomes across condition areas. We've only scratched the surface. Top tier team, investors, and partners. Our world-class team is backed by industry leading investors, including General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, US Fertility, and Labcorp. We're looking for high-horsepower, mission-driven people who find it unacceptable that the female body is still a medical mystery — and want to help change that. About the Role We’re looking for a People Ops Manager to build and run the people function as Evvy scales. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll own the full surface area as our first in-house people hire: employee lifecycle, benefits, compliance, performance management, office management, and culture. You’ll set the tone for what working at Evvy feels like. This is a role for someone who is equal parts operator and culture-builder: rigorous about systems and compliance, warm about the human side, and energized by an in‑person team. This role is NYC-based and in-office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote); you’ll be the heartbeat of our NYC office and the day‑to‑day partner to managers and teammates across the company. Evvy is a primarily in‑person team based in New York, NY. Given the cross‑functional nature of this role, our ideal candidate is located in NYC. What You’ll Do Support team leaders in designing & executing recruiting processes Own onboarding and offboarding end‑to‑end: paperwork, equipment, system access, day‑one experience, and exit interviews. Run bi‑annual performance management cycles: self‑assessments, manager assessments, peer feedback, and 1:1 cadences. Manage leaves of absence (parental, medical, sick) and accommodations with sound judgment and legal rigor. Own annual benefits renewal: review options, negotiate with brokers, communicate changes, and run open enrollment. Own compliance, trainings, and tracking for employees (eventually including HIPAA). Run our NYC office day‑to‑day: vendor management (cleaning, IT, food), supplies, mail, and maintenance. Plan and execute social events and offsites that reflect Evvy’s culture: team dinners, happy hours, themed gatherings. Own the people tech stack; identify gaps and bring in tools that scale with us. Build manager guides and decision trees for common scenarios (performance issues, leaves, terminations, accommodations). Serve as the primary point of contact for employee questions; resolve most independently and elevate the rest with sound judgment. Partner with leadership and managers to shape culture moments that scale as we grow. Document policies, processes, and playbooks so people ops scales beyond any one person. What We’re Looking For 5–7 yrs of People Operations or HR experience, with 2–3+ years in a startup or high‑growth environment. Based in NYC and able to be in our office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote). This is a hard requirement. Hands‑on experience across the full people stack: benefits, compliance, performance management, employee relations, and lifecycle operations. Strong working knowledge of NY and federal employment law (EEO, ADA, FMLA, NYC sick leave, pay transparency); comfortable owning the employee handbook. Experience with HRIS/PEO platforms (Justworks, Rippling, Gusto, or similar) and a track record of keeping people data clean. Office management or workplace experience chops: you’ve run an office before and know what makes one feel like a great place to be. A culture builder: thoughtful about the small rituals that bring teams together; experienced running social events, offsites, and team gatherings. Excellent judgment in confidential or sensitive situations; you keep things calm, fair, and legally defensible. Self‑starter with a builder’s mindset: sees the gap, designs the solution, executes. It’s a plus if you have: Experience as the first People hire at a growing company. Healthcare or life sciences exposure (HIPAA, clinical hires, regulated environments). Background planning multi‑day offsites or large team events end‑to‑end. Familiarity with NY‑specific compliance (NYS Paid Family Leave, NYC Earned Safe and Sick Time Act). Working at Evvy Evvy is a primarily in‑person team based in New York, NY with a strong culture of collaboration and connection. We work from the office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote), and we genuinely enjoy spending time together: team dinners, happy hours, and shared wins are part of the rhythm here. Our Values Start with the why. We tie everything back to a user need or company goal. Figure it out. We take initiative, embrace ambiguity, and build from first principles. Create win‑wins. We solve problems with patients, partners, and the business in mind. Own it to the end. We close every loop and take pride in the details. Stay eleven steps ahead. We anticipate, plan, and act with foresight and speed.
