About the role

We think in systems, work like product managers, and put the people experience at the center of everything we do.
You'll be the person who looks at how we work and asks 'how do we make this 10x better'-whether that means redesigning a process, introducing an AI-powered solution, or owning a company-wide people program end to end.
The next you're running the performance review cycle or turning engagement survey results into action.

Diagnose manual, repetitive, or high-friction processes across the employee lifecycle and lead the end-to-end build of their redesign-scoping the solution, coordinating stakeholders, and driving implementation of AI-enabled improvements.
Architect and implement our tiered People support model, ensuring employees get the right level of support at the right time-from self-service resources to specialist escalation-and that the model scales as we grow.
Lead strategic People initiatives as they arise
Build and maintain internal People team resources - playbooks, SOPs, project trackers, and knowledge bases - so institutional knowledge is captured and operations run consistently at scale.
Partner closely with People Partners, Recruiting, Engineering, and Finance to align People programs with business needs and ensure cross-functional dependencies are managed proactively.
Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.

5+ years of experience in People operations, HR consulting, program management, or a closely related field, with a track record of owning complex, cross-functional initiatives from scoping through delivery.
Familiarity with AI tools and automation platforms (Claude, Zapier, Workato, or similar) and genuine curiosity about how they can be applied to People operations.
Comfortable with data - you can pull a report, interpret what it's telling you, and translate it into a recommendation that a business leader can act on.
You have hands-on experience with Jira Service Management or a comparable service management platform, and you understand how to use it as a strategic operational tool rather than just a ticketing system.
You're an exceptional communicator who can write a crisp project brief for the CHRO and a clear how-to guide for a new hire on the factory floor-and you know the difference between the two.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

For this role, the target salary range is 155,000 - 185,000 (actual range may vary based on experience).
This is the lowest to highest salary we reasonably and in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range, and the range may be modified in the future.
An employee's pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors, including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs.

Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
Flexible vacation policy
When necessary, the Company also makes reasonable accommodations for disabled candidates and employees, including for candidates or employees who are disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.
