About the role

What You'll Do

  • People Partnering. Be the trusted partner to our leaders. Support org design, team health, performance, and the hard conversations managers avoid. Catch problems early.
  • People Operations. Run our core cycles: performance reviews, calibrations, engagement surveys, onboarding, offboarding, and policy. Own the HRIS, the data, and compliance across the US and EU.
  • Workplace. Own the experience across our hubs in New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Berlin, and London. Make each one a place people actually want to come to.
  • Manager Enablement. Give managers the tools and confidence to lead well. Less process, more clarity.
  • People Analytics. Define the metrics that matter. Build dashboards leaders actually open.

What We're Looking For

  • Extensive experience across People, Operations, and Culture as an operator, Chief of Staff, or people leader. You've run complex, cross-company programs end to end. You plan well, sequence work, manage dependencies, and ship.
  • Talent density is your obsession. You know the difference between a team of 8 strong players and a team of 12 average ones.
  • You're comfortable with data. You define the metrics, build the dashboards, and let the numbers inform the call. You design processes that scale and cut the ones that don't.
  • You have real vision on the future of work. You want to help Gigs employees reimagine their careers, make AI a day-to-day tool across the company, and build an AI-forward workplace people actually want to be part of.
  • You've hired and managed people across the US and EU, worked with legal, payroll, and PEO partners, and know how to stay compliant without slowing everything down.
  • Founders and managers come to you with hard problems. You know how to be an effective advisor or coach.
