You’ll report to the Interim People Operations Manager, also based in Los Angeles, and work alongside an additional People Partner and newly created People Operations Coordinator role, both based in Sydney.\nYou’ll be the strategic People Partner for your assigned client group, accountable for making sure team structure, practices, and culture support Q-CTRL’s goals. As a scaling business, the role also carries hands-on operational ownership for your client group and for our locations in Germany, the UK, and the United States.\nYou’ll partner with exceptional technical teams across multiple countries, with the breadth to work on everything from workforce planning and organizational change to employee relations and People operations. It’s a role where experience and judgment make a real difference, and where you’ll have the room to use both. We’re also building AI and automation into how the People team works, and you’ll help shape where that goes next.\nWhat you'll be doing:\nLead workforce planning, talent management, and succession for your client group, aligning role design with business needs and reducing key person dependencies.\nPartner with leaders through organizational change, shaping both the approach and the communication so it lands well with employees.\nUse People data to spot issues early, diagnose root causes, and build solutions that hold up as priorities shift.\nBe actively involved in managing staff performance, including expertly navigating performance management cases of all levels of complexity for your client group.\nBuild manager capability so leaders become a force multiplier for a consistent, positive employee experience.\nAct as the ‘on the ground’ People team liaison for your assigned locations, as well as be the local point of contact for any People related activities that happen in person (e.g. a physical presence onboarding of new starters, offboarding, training for cyclical activities etc). This may be outside of your client group.\nIdeally you'll have:\n8+ years of progressive People experience (this is purely a rough guide to give you an understanding of the seniority we are aiming for). \nDeep experience with complex performance management and employee relations, and strong working knowledge of US federal and California employment law.\nHeavy commercial focus and a proven track record of developing and implementing People programs that support business objectives.\nStrong stakeholder management and communication skills, and the ability to influence across all levels.\nSound judgment in balancing what employees want with what the business needs.\nA systems-first mindset and hands-on curiosity about AI and automation, with experience using HR technology to simplify operations at scale.\nOther duties within the Employee's skills and experience, or with reasonable training.\nIt would be fantastic if you have these skills/experience but not essential:\nStartup or scaleup experience, ideally in technology. Industry experience isn’t essential, but an understanding of how scaling businesses work will help you hit the ground running.\nPrior experience working with staff in multiple countries outside the US.\nExperience with UK and/or German labor laws would be an advantage.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3334,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Quantum Science & Computing","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T01:57:59Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":2,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":157500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-11T07:38:50+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T03:06:52Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/q-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/q-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T03:06:52Z","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":6977,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":6563},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6563"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fq-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner"},{"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%2Fq-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner"},{"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%2Fq-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner"},{"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/q-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fq-ctrl-senior-people-operations-partner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4128821}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"q-ctrl.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4128821},"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.
