Full-Time People Operations Manager

What do we do?

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure.

Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 4000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The Role:

We’re expanding our People Operations team and looking for a People Operations Manager to help deliver a world-class People Operations service to Paddlers. We’re a forward thinking team and always look to do things the smart way, adding value and making a positive difference.

If you’re meticulous with detail, have worked in tech/SaaS or start up and thrive in a fast paced environment, then this is your ideal role. We’re looking for someone with bags of initiative, energy and a drive to make processes as efficient as they can be to deliver an excellent experience for our Paddlers.

• Provide operational support to managers and employees on People Ops-related questions, policies, and processes.

2. Internal Mobility

• Manage visa renewals and international relocations for Paddlers. Including liaising with our legal partners and being the interface with the employee.

3. Process Lead

• Lead initiatives to improve our People processes, ensuring they are streamlined and optimised using a continuous improvement approach.

4. Compliance

• Responsible for compliance, keeping track of changes in employment laws and regulations across our operating markets, and updating processes, guidelines, and People Policies as needed.

5. HR Tech Stack

• Lead initiatives to upgrade our tech stack, leveraging system integrations.

6. Projects
