Director of People Operations

👋 Thanks for stopping by and learning more about this role at Sitemate! ✨🏗️

We’d love to hear from you 👩‍💻👩🏽‍💻🧑🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻

📝 About the role

Sitemate's Director of People Operations owns the People Operations function end-to-end, global payroll, the employee lifecycle, Talent Acquisition and IT provisioning, and the People programs every department runs to, from performance, engagement and learning and development to levelling and compensation. The role leads a team of two: a Senior Talent Acquisition Manager and a People Operations Manager.

The job is to architect the next version of People Operations at Sitemate, built for the AI era so the team stays small as Sitemate grows. That only works if systems and AI agents do the admin.

This is a hands-on, builder-first role. You build the systems, agents and playbooks yourself, and set the bar through your own work.

At Sitemate, managers are player-coaches at every level, including the executive team. Time in the details sharpens the bar you hold, alongside the leadership work.

🎯 What the function owns

• The People Operations architecture. How our people system and tools work together across every entity, the data that flows between them, and which steps run without human admin. You design for automation first, within the systems we already run

• People Operations' AI agents and automation. What gets automated next, where agents get built, what stays human, and the guardrails, including which employee and payroll data each tool may touch
