People Operations Manager

HIGH ENERGY + DISCIPLINE (BEST ALL-AROUND)

We’re looking for a People Operations Manager who brings energy, pride, and presence into the field—while also caring deeply about accuracy, follow-through, and getting the details right . If you love being around people, building community, recruiting in real life (not just online), celebrating wins, and making sure systems are actually used the right way—this role was built for you. You’ll be visible, respected, and trusted. You’ll bring culture to life and make sure records, processes, and reporting are clean, consistent, and reliable.

If you’re energized by people and grounded by structure, we want to meet you
