About the role

Edra is 30+ people across New York and London, with aggressive hiring plans in both offices. Every one of those people runs through an offer, payroll in one of two countries, equity in one of two tax regimes, benefits, and the compliance layer underneath it all. We've laid the foundation; now we want someone to own it, and to build the version that gets us to 60, 100, and beyond.

What they're looking for

  • You've owned significant parts of people operations at a startup through a growth phase. You've personally processed payroll, fixed benefits enrollment errors, and onboarded new team members, not just managed vendors who did
  • You've worked across US and UK employment infrastructure, or have international people ops experience and can close the gap quickly
  • You default to systems. When something breaks twice, you fix the process, and when a task is repetitive, you automate it rather than staffing it
  • You're curious about what AI tooling can do for an operations function, and you'd rather experiment and find out than wait for a vendor to tell you
  • You're detail-oriented at the level this work requires. Errors in payroll and benefits are visible to everyone—you make sure they don’t happen
  • You write clearly, especially when explaining equity, benefits, and policy to people who aren't specialists

Edra is solving one of the hardest problems in enterprise AI: AI models are generic but company processes are specific. We build AI agents that learn how processes actually run, and then run their operations.

We're a deeply technical team of engineers, AI researchers, and strategists with a high bar for talent and a shared belief that exceptional people are the foundation of everything great we'll build.
