Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing, product, and research teams.\nThe Context\nConveo is scaling from $4M to $50M, and the People team is running on goodwill and late nights. We have a recruiting team and a new L&D hire joining, but nobody owns the processes and systems underneath them. Compensation schemes, performance cycles and salary reviews all land on Claudia, alongside the daily operational load.\nThat has to change before we grow further. You'll be the first dedicated People Operations hire, reporting to Claudia. You'll build the operating system for the whole People function: the tools, data, cycles and lifecycle processes that let us hire, pay, develop and support people well across the UK, Belgium and the US.\nYou'll work closely with Finance on payroll and compensation, with recruiting and L&D on the employee lifecycle, and with managers across the company. When you've done this well, Claudia spends her time on strategy and growing the team, not on firefighting.\nYour Mission\n1. Own the People systems stack and make it work across every country\nYou decide how our People tools fit together, then make them run. Today that spans an HRIS, EOR and PEO providers, and payroll across several geographies.\nOwn the HRIS as the single source of truth for every employee, contractor and EOR hire\n\nLead a possible payroll migration end to end: vendor choice, data cleanup, parallel runs, cutover\n\nManage EOR and PEO relationships across the UK, Belgium and the US\n\nConnect systems so data flows once, not through spreadsheets and copy-paste\n\nUse AI and automation to remove manual admin wherever it adds no judgement\n\n2. Build an employee lifecycle that feels effortless at 2x our size\nEvery hire, move and exit should follow a clear, repeatable path that works in any country we operate in.\nDesign onboarding, internal moves and offboarding flows with recruiting and L&D\n\nTurn tribal knowledge into documented processes and self-serve answers\n\nKeep contracts, documents and policies consistent across geographies\n\nMake the experience good for employees and managers, not just compliant\n\n3. Run the people cycles the company depends on\nPerformance reviews, compensation and salary increases should run on time, every time, without pulling Claudia into the detail.\nOwn the performance cycle calendar, tooling and manager enablement\n\nRun compensation projects and salary review cycles with Claudia and Finance\n\nKeep bands, levels and approvals applied consistently\n\nSpot what slowed each cycle down and fix it before the next one\n\n4. Turn People data into decisions\nLeadership should be able to answer people questions in minutes, with numbers they trust.\nBuild reliable reporting on headcount, attrition, compensation and cycle completion\n\nKeep People data clean enough to support planning and board reporting\n\nGive Claudia and managers the insight to act early, not after the fact\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust-haves\n5+ years in People Operations, including time at a startup or scaleup through hypergrowth, with hands-on experience across multiple countries (ideally Belgium and the UK)\n\nHands-on experience scaling a People function: you've seen what breaks between 50 and 200+ people and helped fix it\n\nStrong systems thinking: you design processes and tool stacks that hold up as the company grows, not one-off fixes\n\nHands-on experience implementing an HRIS (Deel is a big plus) and running at least one people cycle (performance, comp review or onboarding) end to end.\n\nComfort working with data: you can build a report leadership trusts, and you notice when the numbers look wrong\n\nMindset\nHigh agency, low ego\n\nA builder first: you'd rather design the system than run the same manual process twice\n\nPragmatic about risk: you treat compliance as a baseline, not the whole job\n\nReady to step up and own things you've seen done but haven't led yourself\n\nCalm and organised when several cycles land at once\n\nNice to have\nReal curiosity about AI, ideally with automations or AI tools you've already put to work in People ops\n\nMulti-country experience, including the US\n\nPayroll experience, especially a payroll provider migration\n\nCompensation management experience: bands, reviews and benchmarking\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nAfter 6 to 12 months, because you're here:\nClaudia spends most of her time on People strategy and growing the team, not on daily operations\n\nThe HRIS is the single source of truth, and nobody keeps a shadow spreadsheet\n\nPayroll, EOR and PEO run smoothly across the UK, Belgium and the US, with any payroll migration landed cleanly\n\nThe last performance and salary review cycles ran on schedule, with clear manager guidance and no last-minute scrambles\n\nEvery hire, move and exit follows a documented process that works in each country\n\nLeadership gets headcount, attrition and comp reporting on demand, from data they trust\n\nThe People operating system is ready for the next stage of growth, and you're taking on special projects that improve how Conveo works\n\nWhy Join Conveo?\nAt Conveo, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working, and spending time, together. We care about building real relationships, not just great products. That's why we run quarterly team offsites where we disconnect, reset, and have fun.\nOwn a high-impact role at a hyper-growth, YC-backed AI company\n\nBuild the People operating system from the ground up, with the room to make it yours\n\nDirect access to founders and senior leadership\n\nWork with world-class enterprise clients (Unilever, Google, P&G, Orange, and more)\n\nHybrid working model with offices in London, Antwerp, and New York\n\nCompetitive compensation with meaningful equity upside\n\nA culture built on taste, speed, ownership, and ambition","description_format":"text","description_chars":5919,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Market Research"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T12:18:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T13:26:13Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":107306,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/conveo-people-operations-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/conveo-people-operations-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T13:26:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31257,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673322},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673322"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fconveo-people-operations-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fconveo-people-operations-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fconveo-people-operations-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/conveo-people-operations-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fconveo-people-operations-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4015130}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"conveo.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4015130},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
