Head of People Ops & Tech
🎯 You'll own and rebuild the operating system behind n8n's People function: hygiene, analytics, systems, and automation. This isn't a maintenance job. You'll have a real mandate to design it your way, and since n8n builds workflow automation for a living, you'll get to use our own product to do it. If you've ever wanted to turn your own function into your best case study, this is that job.
You're inheriting a People Ops team that's kept things moving through real growth, and you'll get a proper audit period before anyone asks you to change anything. That's real trust, and it means you get to diagnose before you prescribe.
Here's what you'll own:
Own the hygiene factors of employment
Own employment contracts, payroll coordination, visas, and employee policies end to end.
Keep n8n's SOC 2-related compliance processes accurate and audit-ready.
Bring clear, centralized ownership to freelancer and contractor engagement approvals, an area with no consistent oversight today.
Personally step in on hands-on hygiene work whenever it's the highest-impact use of your time.
Build people analytics in-house
Stand up n8n's own people analytics capability rather than relying on the central data team, given the sensitivity of the data.
Turn People data into decisions leadership can act on, from attrition trends to org health.
Report on the health of the People function to the VP People and wider leadership.
Own people systems and drive automation
Own and evolve People systems like HiBob and Mahana, keeping data clean and workflows scalable.
Automate repetitive People Ops work, partnering with workflow automation engineers on the most complex builds. You'll be doing it with n8n's own product, so you get to dogfood the exact tool your company sells, on your own function.
Requirements
- ·📈 Proven scaling experience: You've scaled or matured an existing People Operations function, not necessarily built one from zero, through a comparable growth range such as 500 to 1,000 employees.
- ·📝 Hands-on hygiene ownership: You've personally owned contracts, payroll coordination, visas, employee policies, and SOC 2-adjacent compliance, not just directed others who do.
- ·⚖️ Strategic and hands-on: You're comfortable setting vision and prioritizing, and just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves on execution.
- ·📊 People analytics fluency: You have real experience with people analytics and data, and you're willing to build that capability in-house.
- ·⚙️ Systems and automation: You've worked hands-on with HRIS platforms like HiBob and have driven process automation in a People function.
Benefits
- ·Competitive compensation 💸 – We offer fair and attractive pay.
- ·Ownership 💪 – Our core value is to “empower others,” and we mean it—you’ll get a slice of n8n with equity.
- ·Work/life balance 🏖️ – We work hard but ensure you have time to recharge:
- ·Europe: 30 days of vacation, plus public holidays wherever you are.
- ·US: 20 vacation days, 8 sick days, plus public holidays wherever you are.
