Opal is redefining identity security for modern enterprises. We've all felt the pain of not getting timely access to the tools, systems, and services we need to do our job. Security teams face a particular struggle — they need to strike the balance of avoiding business bottlenecks by limiting access or authorizing everything at the expense of increased risk. At Opal, we’re removing the tension by making least privilege practical through our end-to-end identity platform for human and non-human identities. We're proud to partner with customers like ScaleAI, Grammarly, Databricks, and Figma.

We’re looking for a high-energy “people-person” to join our team. In this role, you’ll spend ~70% of your time on People Operations and ~30% on Recruiting, but as a growing organization, each day looks a little different. This is a great role for someone with People Operations experience who is also interested in Recruiting, Talent Strategy, and People Leadership. Our ideal candidate has worked on multiple components of a successful People organization — from employee experience to HR to systems administration, and all the things in between — and is excited to join a growing Silicon Valley-backed start-up and play a key role in scaling our culture and fueling our growth. 

You'll join an experienced team of engineers with direct experience building and scaling teams through massive growth at companies like Amplitude, Airtable, Meta, Pinterest, and Apple. On the back of this experience and our success to date, we’ve raised over $32M from leading investors, including Greylock and Battery Ventures. Join us as we build the next-generation identity security platform!

Your responsibilities

• People Programs: Build 0>1 people programs that operationalize our company values. Programs include performance management, compensation strategy, onboarding, employee experience, company events, internal knowledge management, and recognition. 

• People Strategy: Set direction, drive prioritization, and implement key projects related to our long-term workplace and people strategy. 

• Employee Relations: Support employees through their full employment life cycle, with a focus on cultivating a productive, inclusive, engaged, and motivated community. 

• Benefits: Manage administration of our suite of health, wellbeing, and 401k benefits. Work closely with our broker and their benefits administration group to ensure responsiveness and resolution of employee benefits, taxes, and other administrative issues.

• Compliance: Own and drive all People/HR compliance processes and audits; assist in updating company policies and procedures as needed to ensure compliance

• Systems administration and analytics: Own and coordinate the HR tech stack across operations, employee engagement, and talent acquisition. You will optimize systems and tools and help them all talk to each other to improve efficiency and maintain data integrity. Own data reporting for the People function.

• Recruiting: We’re all recruiters at Opal, and in this role, you’ll be the primary full cycle recruiter for a few roles each quarter.

Our ideal candidate

• Outstanding interpersonal people skills — you make people feel seen, supported, and welcome.

• 5+ years of experience in an operations or HR role, preferably in a high-growth B2B startup or consulting. 

• Demonstrated experience building 0>1 people programs that honor an organization’s unique culture, norms, and business strategy.

• Familiarity with employment-related laws and regulations (state, federal, and international), or the ability to learn.

• Experience administering HR systems (e.g. Trinet), Applicant Tracking Systems (e.g. Ashby), and Google suite.

• Comfort with data, both by building reporting mechanisms and handling confidential data with care. 

• Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves, and low-ego attitude.

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds rarely apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself. Opal is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
