Manager, People Operations

Alaffia Health•New York, NY

About The Position

As People Operations Manager you’ll be tasked with building out Alaffia’s HR function as we scale from a Series A company to a growth stage company. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that blends strategy and execution — ideal for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and collaborating with others for meaningful work that will impact every employee. You’ll build out Alaffia Health’s core People Ops infrastructure: compensation and benefits, HR systems, reporting, and compliance, partnering cross-functionally across all departments to drive automation and bring clarity to employee communications, headcount planning, people metrics (from eNPS to time to hire), and decision-making. This role is perfect for someone with a strong technical skillset, an eye for detail, with a strong bias towards action, and who’s excited to turn operational excellence into a competitive advantage as we scale. If you’re motivated by building the systems that help teams win — turning data and structure into leverage for both people and business performance — and want to shape a company where employees are deeply supported to do their best work, this is your opportunity.
