Description

We're looking for a Head of People Operations to lead the work in making everyday work simpler, more reliable, and increasingly agent-enabled. You'll shape the strategy across People Operations and Total Rewards operations, making sure that the systems and processes are designed to provide a great employee experience.

Responsibilities:

  • Be customer zero for AI-enabled operations. Prototype and scale agents on real workflows, with trusted data, the right access, and human review built in.
  • Build the experience behind the experience. Every hire, change, leave, and farewell runs through the systems you design.
  • Lead a team that wears many hats. You'll coach, set the roadmap, and still get your hands dirty.
  • Join at a moment of growth. Notion is scaling, and there's a real green field to build something simple and lasting.
  • Work across the whole company. Partner with People, Finance, Payroll, Legal, IT, and BizTech to make handoffs smooth and change stick.
  • Put agents to work, thoughtfully. Test and scale useful workflows with validation and human review.
  • Lead the team and set the roadmap. Clear ownership, clear priorities, and room for people to grow.
  • Build reliable lifecycle workflows. Onboarding, employee changes, leaves, and offboarding, with clear intake, service standards, and escalation paths.
  • Run Total Rewards operations. Own routine compensation and benefits operations, from cycle readiness and data changes to Payroll handoffs, with accuracy and good judgment on exceptions.
  • Measure what matters. Use service, quality, and adoption data to keep improving, with data integrity and audit readiness built in.
  • Make change stick. Align partners across the company and drive adoption.

Requirements:

  • You've led a People Operations team in a shared services model and built scalable processes in a growing company, while staying hands-on.
  • You've built People programs and operational processes from the ground up.
  • You know compensation administration and benefits well, with sound judgment on approvals and exceptions.
  • You design great systems and processes across HRIS, case management, and lifecycle workflows.
  • You've used AI and automation to improve real work, with privacy, quality, and oversight in mind.
  • You communicate clearly, hold strong beliefs loosely, and lead people through change with kindness and directness.
