The Role

The People Operations Manager is a foundational role at Nevis, owning the systems, processes, and day-to-day operations that power our global team.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys solving problems end to end, and takes pride in building scalable, thoughtful people and workplace operations. You’ll sit at the centre of the business — ensuring Nevis is compliant, well-run, and a genuinely great place to work as we scale internationally.

You’ll work closely with leadership, Finance, and external partners, with real impact and visibility from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, documentation, and employee records.
• Act as the first point of contact for employee questions across policies, benefits, expenses, workplace needs, and global mobility.
• Own and improve employee benefits, perks, and expense processes, ensuring a smooth, compliant, and employee-friendly experience.
• Run the physical workplace and office operations, including vendors, access, supplies, budgets, and day-to-day problem solving.
• Manage people systems and tools (HRIS, benefits platforms, expense tools, payroll inputs) in partnership with Finance and external providers.
• Own global mobility and relocation processes, including visas, work permits, relocations, and cross-border onboarding.
• Ensure compliance with local employment laws, immigration requirements, and people best practices as Nevis scales globally.
• Build the foundations of a scalable, best-in-class People Operations function as the company grows beyond Series A.
