Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. MagicSchool is a generative AI platform for teachers and educators. The Sr People Operations Manager will own the infrastructure, systems, and data layer for the People function, leading major workforce and HR technology initiatives while building scalable employee lifecycle processes. The role also manages HR systems, PEO and EOR relationships, contingent workforce administration, and IT onboarding and offboarding.
Responsibilities
- People Systems & Data Infrastructure: Own HRIS, PEO, and Lattice end-to-end - configuration, vendor relationships, and system hygiene - and build the unified data layer connecting HRIS, payroll, and equity administration so headcount, comp, and employment data have a single source of truth leadership can use with confidence
- Process Architecture & Lifecycle Design: Design and maintain employee lifecycle workflows from onboarding through exit, owning the templates and documentation that make those processes scalable and reduce rework as the company grows
- PEO & Contingent Workforce Transition: Project-manage the transition off MagicSchool's current PEO (benefits, payroll continuity, vendor selection) and stand up a new contingent workforce vendor for contractor administration and compliance, owning both timelines end to end
- IT Onboarding/Offboarding & EOR Administration: Own end-to-end IT provisioning/deprovisioning in partnership with IT, and manage the Employer of Record relationship for Canadian employees, ensuring legal and operational requirements are met throughout
Skills
- HR Data Architecture Fluency: You think in terms of source-of-truth, data hygiene, and system integrations, and can build models, write formulas, and create reports people actually use
- Ownership-Oriented Execution: You build the playbook rather than wait for one — flagging blockers early, closing loops without being chased, and treating this as an ownership role rather than a support role
- Required: 5-8 years in HR operations, people operations, or related roles, with meaningful time spent on systems implementation and operational infrastructure
- Required: Proven track record leading a PEO transition, HRIS implementation, or comparable infrastructure project
- Preferred (Nice-to-Have): Experience with EOR and/or contingent workforce management
