People Operations Coordinator

Title: People Operations Coordinator Location: US Remote ABOUT THE ROLE NetBox Labs is hiring a People Operations Manager to run the day to day operations behind a globally distributed team. We are 135 people across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, France, and Spain, and we are growing. Every hire, change, and exit means a contract, a payroll entry, a benefits enrollment, a system record, and a compliance obligation under that country's rules. This role owns that work, mostly in Justworks and Deel. Most of our headcount is in the US, so that is where the transaction volume sits. Our international population is smaller and considerably more complex, with different filing requirements and employment rules in each country. International work is a meaningful share of this job, not an occasional task. You also get to build. A single system of record. People data clean enough that Finance and the board plan against it. The infrastructure behind our leveling and compensation framework. Automation that retires the manual cycles. You will work directly with the Head of People, alongside Finance and Legal, with the access to make decisions rather than route them. Payroll, compliance, and employee support come first, and project work happens around a floor that never slips. WHO THIS IS FOR This role is for someone who takes real pride in the craft of operations. You are fast and precise inside an HR system and you trust the record you leave behind. You notice when two systems disagree and you want to know why. You also spot the problem behind the ticket. When something breaks twice you come back with a fix and a recommendation instead of a flag. Hand you a messy, half-defined project and you turn it into a plan. You already use AI in your own work and you would rather teach a tool to handle the repetitive part than build a better spreadsheet. Much of this work is detailed, and it matters most when nobody has to think about it. This role is focused on making the operational foundation solid, with real latitude in how you get there.
