People Operations and HRIS Lead

About the role

ElevenLabs is scaling fast — and People Operations and HRIS is how we make sure the company scales well. This is a hands-on builder role for someone who wants to design and run the programs that shape how people grow, lead, and perform at ElevenLabs.

You'll own the full People Operations and HRIS surface: talent management (performance, onboarding, L&D, succession, internal mobility), org design, engagement (recognition, enablement, change management), and compensation. You'll work closely with People Partners and business leaders to build things that actually work in a high-velocity environment — practical, high-signal, and built to scale.

The ideal person for this role is a strong IC who has built these programs before in fast-growing companies, has sharp opinions on what good looks like, and is energized by doing the work rather than directing it.

Requirements

• Proven experience designing and running People Ops and HRIS end-to-end — talent management, enablement, compensation, or engagement — in a high-growth environment

• Hands-on builder: comfortable going from blank page to shipped program without a large team beneath you

• Strong instincts on manager and lead enablement; has seen what works and what doesn't, and builds accordingly

• Experience in compensation design and benchmarking, including navigating complex, fast-shifting markets

• Operates globally; comfortable working across time zones and geographies

Growth Potential

We believe in hiring the best talent in the world to make an impact in the right role at the right time. At ElevenLabs, strong performance creates opportunities for growth. For this role, the natural path is toward leading the People Programs function as the team scales — taking on direct reports and broader ownership across the People org while continuing to do IC work that matters.
