To keep our momentum and deliver consistently high value to our partners, we need incredible people to help us on our journey – we need you 🫵

Join us as People Operations Generalist to help us build a People function that is simple, dependable and ready to scale.

Goodstack is growing quickly across multiple countries, and we need someone to take ownership of the day-to-day operations behind our employee experience.

You'll work closely with the Head of People & Culture, taking responsibility for the operational side of the function so that our people, managers and teams get the support they need.

We're looking for someone who's brilliant with detail, takes ownership from start to finish, spots problems early, and enjoys finding simpler ways of working.

• Coordinating performance, progression and compensation-cycle administration.

• Maintaining People policies, templates and internal documentation.

• Producing recurring People data and reporting.

• Can independently manage recurring processes and deadlines.

• Are comfortable working across HRIS, payroll, benefits and employee documentation.

• Have a good baseline knowledge of UK employment practices.

• Are comfortable supporting employees across multiple countries/EOR arrangements.

• Look for the simplest effective solution rather than adding process for its own sake.
