This role is the first dedicated People Operations hire, so it asks for someone to build the systems and processes underneath a growing People function rather than just run them. A strong candidate has scaled People operations through hypergrowth, has implemented an HRIS, and has run at least one full people cycle end to end. Comfort with data and multi country work across the UK, Belgium and the US matters more than any single tool.
How it fits the AI era
Much of the manual admin in this role, from data entry to reporting, can be automated, and the posting explicitly wants AI used to remove work that adds no judgement. What stays human is the design of the systems, the judgement on compliance and fairness, and the ability to spot when numbers or processes look wrong. The role sits at the point where automation meets people decisions, so the thinking behind the tools is the durable part.
How it builds AI experience
The company builds conversational AI for research, so working here means seeing how AI tools get applied to real operations. A candidate can build relevant experience by putting automations or AI tools to work in People ops, for example in reporting, onboarding flows or data cleanup. The posting lists curiosity about AI as a nice to have, which signals that hands on experimentation counts more than formal training.
