About The Position

Tyba is a modeling platform for energy companies developing, financing, and operating renewable energy infrastructure. Energy companies rely on technical models daily to make crucial infrastructure decisions and operate their assets. Our mission is to make cutting-edge models accessible to cross-functional teams so that companies can build and operate more renewable energy more profitably. We are backed by leading climate and generalist VCs and work with many of the industry's most innovative energy companies. We're looking for a People Operations Manager to own our HR operations function, and help us build the transformational people programs that will take our team development to the next level. Day to day, we need a process-focused operations leader to own the essentials: people compliance, payroll and benefits, hiring logistics, onboarding, and our office. You’ll also play a critical role in shaping the next phase of people development, leading strategic initiatives to evolve our performance development program, onboarding program, and professional development. The person in this role will help us to design and build our people operations function from the ground up, not just inherit someone else's template. To do that well, we want you to truly understand Tyba’s business and be a strategic partner to its leaders. If you’re mission-driven and believe in the future that Tyba is building — this role is for you. More than anything, we're looking for someone who is mid-career with grit, good judgment, and a real caring for people, who's excited to clean up processes, develop new ideas, and help us scale our business. We’re also ready and able to invest in that person’s growth, dedicating budget to learning, growth, new tools, and resources to improve how we do things. If that sounds like you, there's a lot of room to grow this into a leadership role as we scale.
