About the role

Original posting from Metabase via Lever

Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us.

We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.

We’re a globally remote, async-first company. Our People function reflects how we operate as a business - lean, practical, and focused on what actually works. We don’t rely on heavy processes or one-size-fits-all programs.

We’re hiring a People Operations Associate to support both People Ops and recruiting. This role sits at the center of how the team runs: keeping hiring moving, maintaining strong systems and data, and ensuring day-to-day execution is thoughtful, consistent, and high quality.

You’ll work across recruiting, operations, and internal initiatives, building a strong understanding of how a global People function actually operates. You’ll report to the Head of People and work closely across the team, partnering on both People Ops and recruiting efforts.

This is a role where you’ll have a real impact through the way you operate - by keeping work moving, maintaining high-quality systems, and following through on the details that make the team effective.

We’re looking for someone who wants to learn by doing - someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, curious, and takes ownership of their work. As you build context, there’s room to expand your scope across different areas of People Ops.
