POSITION SUMMARY
This role sits at the center of the People function, driving how we operate, evolve, and deliver at scale. You'll serve as the connective tissue across People sub-teams, bringing rigor, clarity, and momentum to the systems, programs, and initiatives that make the function run. As a builder and strategic operator, you'll shape the infrastructure and culture of how the People team works, while leading high-visibility, high-impact transformation projects on behalf of People leadership.
This is a remote role, with occasional travel to our Mountain View HQ required. The New York Metro base salary range for this full-time position is $201,000-$246,000, plus equity and benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Function-wide operations: Own the operating model for the People team — including cross-functional cadences, reporting, dashboards, and the systems that support how we work.
- Core People programs management: Lead end-to-end planning and execution of compensation cycles, performance reviews, and engagement survey activation.
- Note: Not all People moments; sub-teams still need to be accountable for their own execution.
- Transformation & special projects: Drive selective, high-priority, cross-cutting initiatives on behalf of People leadership, including org design, process redesign, and strategic buildouts.
- Sub-team operations: Serve as a central steward of project management, intake, and operational support across People sub-teams.
- AI & automation: Identify and implement opportunities to modernize People workflows through AI tools, automation, and systems improvements.
- Cross-functional liaison: Serve as the primary operational connector between the People team and cohorts like ELT, Finance, Legal, and IT — particularly on transformation initiatives.
- Documentation & knowledge management: Own how the People team captures, stores, and shares its playbooks, SOPs, and program documentation — building a knowledge infrastructure that scales.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- A systems thinker who also executes — you can zoom out to see the full picture and zoom in to move work forward.
- Experienced in HR/People functions, with a track record of building infrastructure and programs that scale.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-functional work with senior stakeholders.
- Energized by transformation
- 7+ years of experience in HR, People Operations, or related fields
- Experience using data and data-driven insights to support the business by offering solutions in line with values and business objectives
- Change management skills
- Passion for creating healthy, inclusive organizations where culture is a competitive advantage for a diverse employee population

What We Do
Earnin’s mission is to build a financial system that works for people. Every year, while Americans wait for their paychecks, more than $1 trillion of their hard-earned money is held up in the pay cycle. As a result, we accumulate over $50 billion in late and overdraft fees and turn to high-interest loans. We seek to eliminate those fees and put money back into workers’ hands. Our financial system doesn’t work for people. But Earnin does. Earnin is an app that lets people get paid as soon as they leave work, with no fees, interest, or hidden costs. App users can receive their money in their bank account instantly at little or no cost — as we operate on a pay what you choose model. All they need is a bank account and a job that provides direct deposit or uses electronic timesheets. At Earnin, we’re building the way we think a financial system should work for everyone, not just the people who can afford it. We help people take control of their money and get to a better financial place. Our goal is not only to provide great products at little or no cost to the people who need them but also to inspire kindness across the financial world and eventually across all industries.
