Are you passionate about creating people-first systems that empower teams to thrive? At Chainguard, we’re in rocketship mode, and we’re looking for a People Operations Specialist to help us scale with intention and excellence.
This role goes beyond keeping the trains running - it’s about designing and building the tracks for where we’re headed. As the backbone of our People function, you’ll help streamline and optimize processes, maintain scalable systems, and ensure compliance in an ever-evolving landscape. By keeping People Ops systems running smoothly, you’ll reduce friction, increase trust in People data, and enable the company to scale thoughtfully - while delivering consistent, high-quality support to employees.
You’ll have a unique opportunity to shape the core elements of our People Ops experience. By partnering across teams, you’ll help make complex challenges feel manageable and ensure every Chainguardian (our affectionate term for team members) feels connected, supported, and set up for success.
