About The Position

As we step into our next phase of growth, Everlaw is looking for a People Operations Program Manager to lead our day to day operations and design, scale, and manage the infrastructure that powers our employee experience. In this role, you’ll play a critical role in ensuring our People processes are seamless, scalable, and human-centric. To do this, you’ll partner closely with our People, Finance, and Legal teams to manage our People tech stack and day to day operations —ensuring that every Everlawyer has the support they need to do their best work. This role requires a unique blend of operational excellence, technical savvy, and a "service-first" mindset. You are someone who enjoys diving into the "pipes" of an organization to ensure they are leak-proof, while proactively identifying ways to improve the system for everyone. Getting started We’re committed to your success and want you to feel like a part of our team! You’ll go through our standard onboarding process, which will integrate you into the company with informative sessions on our product, policies, processes, and team structure and goals. We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1. We’re excited to find ways for you to contribute, and will create room for you to learn and grow along the way.

Responsibilities

Optimize our People Tech stack: You will manage and improve the tools that define our employee lifecycle—including our HRIS (Rippling), performance management (Lattice), and leave management systems. You’ll ensure these tools deliver a first-class experience while maintaining 100% data integrity.
Administer core People offerings: You’ll be the hands-on owner and trusted partner for our core programs, including health insurance plans, 401(k)/retirement, leaves of absence, and immigration. You’ll ensure these programs run smoothly and that employees feel supported during life’s big moments.
Lead our compliance & governance strategy: In partnership with counsel, you will ensure we remain proactive and compliant as we expand. You will roll out a thoughtful data governance framework, managing role-based access requests to balance stakeholder needs with the responsibility to safeguard confidential employee data.
Drive operational scalability: You will continually assess our workflows to identify bottlenecks. Whether it’s automating a manual task or redesigning a rollout, you’ll identify areas of opportunity to scale our impact and deliver high-touch support that Everlawyers can count on.
Uphold data as a source of truth: You will serve as the primary guardian of our people data, ensuring it is accurate, accessible, and used to drive informed decision-making across the People team.
