About the job
Harvey is seeking a Senior People Operations Generalist to join its global People Operations team. This role will support the entire global employee lifecycle, including onboarding, compliance, and day-to-day HR inquiries. A key responsibility will be managing global compliance programs, building, maintaining, and improving them as the company scales into new countries. The position is ideal for someone with experience and a time zone that naturally supports EMEA and JAPAC coverage, acting as a primary point of contact during those hours. This is a senior generalist role offering significant ownership of a global function within a supportive team environment.
Responsibilities
- Support the end-to-end employee lifecycle globally, including onboarding, changes, leaves, and exits.
- Own and manage global compliance programs, building new processes and improving existing ones.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for employees, managers, and external partners during EMEA/JAPAC business hours.
- Partner with global payroll and EOR platforms to manage country-specific new hire and offboarding requirements.
- Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for global processes.
- Represent the People Operations team on EMEA/JAPAC matters, making judgment calls on urgent issues.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with US-based People Systems, Legal, IT, Payroll, and Workplace teams.
Requirements
- 4-6 years of HR/People Operations experience, preferably in a multi-country organization.
- Experience managing compliance programs, including building, maintaining, and improving processes.
- Hands-on knowledge of employment law and compliance in at least one region outside the US (EMEA and/or JAPAC experience preferred).
- Working knowledge of GDPR and HR data protection requirements.
- Experience with HRIS/payroll platforms such as Workday, Deel, or Remote.
- Proven ability to work independently across a global, distributed team.
- Strategic mindset with strong program and project management skills.
- Excellent written communication skills for asynchronous work.
- Comfort acting as a regional point of contact and representing the function externally.
