About The Position

DealMaker is a fast-growing fintech company revolutionizing the capital markets ecosystem with a mission to make online capital raising mainstream. We empower founders, CEOs, and operators to raise capital digitally, both from their own communities and through strategically marketed campaigns. No other platform provides an end-to-end solution like ours—and our track record speaks for itself, with over $2B raised across 1,000+ campaigns. We power the largest online capital raises for customers like EnergyX ($88M), Green Bay Packers ($65M), Miso Robotics ($72M+), Monogram Orthopaedics (Nasdaq:MGRM) and many others, with 3 IPOs in the past year alone. We are quickly expanding our horizons and are seeking talented team members to join us on our journey to transform the global capital market. You are a seasoned People Operations leader who builds systems that scale, not just processes that survive. You bring deep expertise across People Operations and HR operations, and you know how to translate people data into decisions that matter at the executive level. You excel in environments where there is real work to be done and where your precision and judgment make a meaningful difference. You do not wait for problems to surface; you architect the infrastructure that prevents them.

Responsibilities

Own the full operational backbone of the People function, including HR operations, employee lifecycle, compliance, HR systems, facilities, and workplace experience, so that every employee, from their first day to their last, has a consistent and well-supported experience.
Design and maintain scalable, compliant HR practices across Canada, the United States, and Colombia, proactively identifying and resolving compliance risk before it surfaces, so that DealMaker can operate confidently across all three jurisdictions without friction or exposure.
Lead the HiBob strategy from implementation through optimization, ensuring data integrity and reporting that drives executive-level decisions, so that leadership always has the people insights they need to make informed, confident choices.
Set the standard for People Operations excellence and hold the team accountable for delivering consistent, high-quality outcomes across all programs, so that the People function earns trust as a reliable partner across the business.
Drive the People function's AI and automation strategy, establishing how the team leverages technology to reduce administrative burden as the company scales, so that your team spends less time on manual work and more time on what matters.
Partner cross-functionally with leaders and employees to deliver operational HR support that is responsive, accurate, and aligned with business needs, so that every team feels supported and no question goes unanswered for long.
Transform People data into actionable business intelligence through dashboards and metrics that inform strategy, not just track activity, so that the executive team has a clear and honest view of the health of the organization.
Oversee facilities and workplace experience, ensuring the physical environment supports a high-performing, engaged workforce, so that the people who come into the office feel that their space reflects how much we value them.
