Job Description:

Gamma is one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world - profitable, ~100 people, and one of four top features on the Forbes AI 50 in 2026. We're building the platform that's replacing static slides with a new medium for presenting ideas, and millions of people already use it every week. That growth has outpaced the systems underneath it. The processes that got us here won't carry us to a global, multi-hundred-person company - and we need someone to build what comes next. This is a ground-floor opportunity to design the entire operational backbone of the People function at a company that's already winning, and to do it with the tools and ambition of 2026, not 2019. We're an AI company - the way we run internally should reflect that. Automated by default. Workflows over headcount. Systems that get smarter over time. You'll own everything from HRIS and people systems to onboarding, offboarding, performance infrastructure, compliance, and employee data. You'll be the person managers actually want to talk to - a hands-on partner for org health, coaching, and navigating the messy human stuff day-to-day. And you'll have deep partnership with the Head of People to make sure what you build isn't just functional, but genuinely excellent.

Job Responsibility:

Evaluate, select, and implement our HRIS across payroll, IT, onboarding, reporting, and employee records
Continuously optimize our people tech stack with a bias toward AI-powered workflows and automation
Own employee data, reporting, and analytics
Own our benefits program end-to-end
Design and run onboarding from offer accept through first 90 days
Own offboarding end-to-end - clean, compliant, and thoughtful
Build scalable processes for a distributed, international workforce
Stand up and run our performance review cycles
Build the infrastructure for ongoing coaching and performance management
Partner with managers on employee development conversations and performance concerns
Serve as the day-to-day people partner for functional leads and people managers
Help managers become better managers through lightweight coaching and just-in-time support

Requirements:

6-9+ years of experience, with meaningful time in People Ops or HR at a high-growth tech company
Comfortable in ambiguity - you figure things out without a lot of hand-holding
Operationally rigorous and detail-oriented, but knows when to ship 80% and iterate
Experience evaluating and selecting HRIS platforms (Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, etc.) - you've led a selection process, not just inherited a system
You've built processes from scratch - not just inherited and maintained them
Strong enough with data to build your own reports and spot what matters
You move fast with new tools, especially AI
Low tolerance for repetitive manual work
You prefer building to maintaining, and you're energized (not daunted) by the idea of being the first person in this seat
