Backed by Costanoa Ventures.
About the role
Onboarding that runs without you in every step. You own employee onboarding end to end across Brazil, Mexico, and the US, new hires show up to a process that's documented, consistent, and doesn't depend on you personally remembering what's next. An HRIS that's actually configured, not just adopted. You own configuration end to end: workflows, approval chains, fields, integrations. When something breaks or a market needs a new process, you build it in the system instead of routing around it in a spreadsheet.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years in People Operations or HR Operations, ideally at a tech company that grew fast enough to outgrow its own processes
- Hands-on HRIS administration, you've configured workflows and fields yourself
- A track record of turning a manual, inconsistent process into a documented, standardized one, and getting others to actually follow it
- Experience working across more than one country or legal jurisdiction
- Bilingual in English and Spanish or, English and Portuguese
- Based in New York with 3 days per week in our NY office
More about this role
Tensec is Vertical AI for cross-border trade. Trade is two flows, money and goods, and the trading companies that move them: freight forwarders, shipping lines, customs brokers, 4PLs — still run both on systems built for large corporations and a lot of manual work. Tensec is the agentic AI layer those companies use to move both flows for their importer and exporter clients: FX and payments today, quoting and booking next, trade finance to follow. Cross-border B2B is a $50 trillion market. We're building the version everyone else can use.
We started in the US, Mexico, and Brazil and are expanding globally, onboarding enterprise trading companies whose trade flows run to billions of dollars a year across every major corridor. Founded in 2023 by a team that has built and exited startups and run global teams at Meta, PayPal, Credit Karma, Goldman Sachs, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Tensec is backed by world-class investors such as Quiet Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Costanoa Ventures, Renegade Partners, Clocktower, and WillowTree.
Tensec is hiring across three countries and adding more. Right now, People Ops runs on tribal knowledge and one-off fixes, you're here to change...
