## About the role

A People Operations Associate to serve as a founding member of Nitra’s People function and build the operational backbone of HR from the ground up. As a Series B company scaling toward unicorn status, we need someone who can stand up the systems, processes, and programs that allow us to hire, develop, reward, and retain exceptional people at pace — without slowing the business down.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience in People Operations, HR, or a closely related operations role, ideally at a startup or high-growth environment
- A track record of building processes and infrastructure from scratch — you’ve created systems where none existed, not just maintained existing ones
- Hands-on experience across the People Ops stack: HRIS administration, performance review cycles, onboarding/offboarding, and compliance
- Comfort working with data and analysis — you can pull, structure, and reason about compensation benchmarks, headcount, and people metrics, and turn them into clear recommendations
- Strong working knowledge of US employment law and HR compliance, including multi-state considerations
