About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers.

About the team

We’re looking for a hands-on leader to join our People team as the Manager, People Operations. In this role, you’ll own the design and execution of key People programs and systems. This is a unique opportunity to blend strategic impact with tactical execution, done in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

As Manager, People Operations, you’ll get to:

• Oversee the design and rollout of people programs including engagement surveys, onboarding, compliance, and systems/vendor renewals.

• Partner with HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, and L&D to ensure processes and programs are consistent, efficient, and aligned with business priorities.

• Lead HR systems improvements, automation, and reporting to increase accuracy and scalability.

• Monitor people metrics and build advanced dashboards to provide actionable insights to executives and the Board.

• Ensure policies, processes, and systems remain compliant across multiple geographies, including small or newly established international populations.

• Support the integration of acquired employees into the People Operations lifecycle, including systems, benefits, onboarding, and compliance alignment.

Your experience should include:

• 10+ years of progressive HR/People experience, with 8-10 years focused on People Operations.

• Proven experience supporting and scaling organizations through high-growth environments, ideally in technology or regulated industries

• Experience integrating acquired companies' employees into HR systems and programs (M&A/onboarding integration)

• Experience supporting small or distributed international employee populations, including navigating varying compliance and operational needs across geographies

• Exceptional analytical skills are required - advanced ability to model, interpret, and present complex people-data to drive clear, strategic decisions.

• Hands-on experience with HR systems (Workday required) and proven ability to leverage technology for reporting, analytics, and process improvements.

• Experience overseeing and implementing a wide range of HR programs across the employee lifecycle.

• A track record of thriving in very fast-moving, ambiguous environments with sound judgment and proactive problem-solving.

• Designing and quickly implementing solutions that cut across multiple disciplines.

• Successful management of competing priorities, taking initiative, and driving projects to completion in a timely and accurate manner.

• Strong communication and influencing skills across all levels, from employees to executives.

• Bachelor’s degree and advanced HR certifications (PHR, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, MSHR) are a plus.

You might also have:

• Exceptional listening skills, a personable and approachable demeanor, and ability to relate to, influence, and coach employees of all levels in the organization.

• Ability to work independently, as an active member of both business and the People Team.

• Flexibility, including the ability to think strategically, execute tactically, and collaborate across many teams, levels, and situations.

• Ability to work within constraints as well as to challenge the status quo.
