Manager, People Operations

At Aiven, we view our people (the Crab Cast) as our primary product. As our Manager of People Operations, you are the Lead Architect of the internal systems that power this product. Your goal isn't just to keep the lights on—it’s to build a world-class employee experience that scales through technology rather than headcount. You will lead a global team of 5–7 specialists across the US, APAC, and EMEA, sitting at the intersection of Business Velocity, Regulatory Precision, and AI-Driven Efficiency. This role is based at our HQ in Helsinki. We believe in the power of First Team collaboration, spending 3 days a week together in the office to co-create and build the future of Aiven.
