The Role

At TravelPerk, we’re building a world-class team, and as a People Operations Advisor, you’ll play a key role in making that happen! You’ll be the go-to person for our US employees, supporting them across every stage of the employee journey—from onboarding to offboarding and everything in between. You’ll collaborate closely with recruiters, People Partners, and global teams to ensure seamless operations, compliance, and an outstanding employee experience. As we transition from a PEO model to directly managing employees, you’ll help shape how we scale our People processes in the US, making TravelPerk an even better place to work.

What You’ll Do

  • Act as the main point of contact for HR-related queries, policies, benefits, and self-service tools (such as Zendesk and our internal knowledge portal).
  • Manage key employee lifecycle processes, including onboarding, offboarding, internal movements, and HRIS (HiBob) updates.
  • Ensure compliance with US labor laws, proactively addressing risks and policy updates.
  • Collaborate with Payroll, Benefits, Total Rewards, and external vendors to enhance processes and offerings.
  • Identify and implement process improvements to optimize efficiency and the employee experience.
  • Support the transition from a PEO to direct employment, ensuring a smooth shift for employees.
  • Support and lead strategic projects such as the transition from a PEO to direct employment and M&A integration, ensuring a smooth shift for employees.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance on US-specific operations and compliance.

What You’ll Bring

  • 3 years of People Operations experience in a multinational environment.
  • Strong knowledge of US labor laws, compliance best practices, and risk mitigation.
  • Hands-on experience with HRIS systems (e.g., Bob) and employee lifecycle management.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Tech-savvy, adaptable, and proactive in identifying improvements.
  • High ethical standards and ability to handle confidential information.
  • Experience with M&A activities and payroll operations is a plus.
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to balance execution with long-term vision.

Compensation

Compensation for this role is a combination of salary and stock options. The anticipated base salary range is $67,000 - $79,000 per year. Actual compensation may vary based on specific qualifications, experience, and other job-related factors.

How We Work

Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk is the platform for human connection in real life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in person 3 days a week. For roles in Customer Care, this can be up to 5 days per week in the office. As such, this role requires you to be within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, and creativity, ultimately making us a great workplace.

At TravelPerk, we prioritize experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. We believe that talent and ability aren't always reflected in formal credentials.

TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base—and we want to ensure that the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning you're welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you're from, or anything else that makes you.

All official communications will come from email addresses ending in @travelperk.com, our main social channels, or verified recruiters on LinkedIn linked to our official accounts.
