About the Role
We're looking for a People Operations Lead to build and own our People function as Juicebox continues to scale.

From implementing performance reviews and feedback cycles to developing employee policies and ensuring compliance as we grow, you'll help create the infrastructure that supports our team at every stage.
You'll work closely with leadership and have significant ownership over how we attract, develop, and retain talent. This is a highly hands-on, generalist role where speed matters, good judgment is essential, and you'll have the autonomy to make things happen.

You Have…
- 4–7 years of experience in People Operations, HR, or a related generalist role
- Hands-on experience across core HR functions, including benefits, onboarding, employment compliance, and performance management
- Strong understanding of US employment laws, UK employment law (or ability to ramp quickly), and HR compliance, including leave policies, employee classification, and regulatory requirements
- Experience building or managing performance programs, including feedback cycles, promotions, and annual reviews
- Highly autonomous, scrappy, and comfortable building processes from scratch in a fast-moving environment
- Exceptional judgment and discretion, with the ability to handle highly sensitive employee and business information with strict confidentiality

- A proactive, detail-oriented approach and the ability to balance strategic initiatives with day-to-day execution
