Banyan acquires leading software businesses and helps them grow through operating expertise, applied AI, capital, and a permanent ownership model. Backed by Norwest.
About the role
Banyan Software acquires vertical market software companies and holds them for the long term. Most People Operations roles maintain what exists — this one is about building what doesn't, with AI at the core. You'll be the builder of an AI-native global people operations engine, including HR and TA systems, workflows, compensation processes, data, and analytics.
What they're looking for
- Hands-on People Operations builder. 8–12 years across People Ops or HR Operations in global organizations. You've personally built and shipped HRIS implementations, comp programs, analytics dashboards, and workflows
- Data and systems mindset. You think in systems and data flows. You understand how people data connects to a broader enterprise data platform, and you work credibly alongside data engineers and IT teams
- Comfortable with ambiguity and scale. You make sound decisions with incomplete information, adapt quickly, and have operated in complex, decentralized, multi-entity environments
- Builder energy. You scale systems, processes, and infrastructure by building them yourself first. You balance hands-on execution with strategic thinking and finish what you start
- Collaborative and influential. You partner effectively across HR, Finance, IT, Legal, and business leaders. You influence without authority, communicate clearly, and deliver without surprises
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required, advanced degree or relevant certifications are a plus
