People Ops (HR) Manager

Convergent Research

19d • $108,000 - $155,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

At Convergent Research, we launch Focused Research Organizations (FROs), purpose-built teams of scientists and engineers tackling scientific bottlenecks that academia and industry aren’t structured to address. We move fast. We prioritize impact. We build infrastructure for scale. As we grow across domains, borders, and headcount, we need increasingly scalable and compliant HR processes. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a People Ops Manager to drive operational excellence in everything from payroll and HR compliance to HR analytics and recruiting ops. This is a role for someone who sweats the details without getting bogged down in bureaucracy.

• Action-oriented and proactive.

Responsibilities

• Build the connective tissue across entities.
• Make sure everyone gets paid.
• Run recruiting ops like a backstage manager.
