About the Team The Global People Operations Team is the operational heartbeat of Miro, delivering streamlined, high-quality people services that empower every Mironeer's journey. Our North Star is building a world-class, follow-the-sun service delivery model that provides seamless, scalable support across all time zones. We're pioneering the future of People Ops through AI-driven automation and enabling employee self-service. Guided by data and powered by innovation, we deliver secure, compliant, and agile operations across the full employee lifecycle—from onboarding to offboarding, benefits administration to policy management. By partnering closely with the broader People Team, Payroll & Stock Admin, Workplace, and Workplace IT, we enhance the employee experience while maintaining the operational excellence that allows our business to scale globally. About the Role We're looking for an exceptional Austin-based People Operations Team Lead to lead people operations across the US. This is a high-impact leadership role where you'll directly manage the US People Operations team while serving as a mentor and subject matter expert to the Global People Ops organization. You'll be a hands-on leader who isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves — one moment you're resolving a critical employee escalation, the next you're designing processes that will scale across a complex, multi-state environment. Your expertise in operationalizing US employment law — including navigating the nuances of California, New York, and Texas — combined with your drive to leverage AI and automation will position you as the go-to leader for operational excellence across the organization. This role requires someone comfortable managing through ambiguity, building foundational processes while addressing daily escalations, and effectively collaborating across all levels of leadership. You'll balance strategic thinking with tactical execution, leading from the front while elevating your team and mentoring colleagues globally. What you’ll do * Lead the US Team: Directly manage and develop the US-based People Operations team, fostering a culture of care, empathy, and high performance. Serve as a hands-on mentor and advisor to People Operations team members globally, sharing best practices, providing guidance on complex issues, and elevating operational standards across all regions. Create an environment of psychological safety where teams feel empowered to ask curious questions and continuously improve. * Serve as the US Expert: Act as Miro's subject matter expert on operationalizing employment law and compliance across US jurisdictions, with deep expertise in California, New York, and Texas, and working knowledge of compliance requirements across 20+ states where Miro has remote employees. Translate complex legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance that empowers PBPs, managers, and employees to make confident decisions. Provide hands-on support for the most complex compliance matters. * Drive Operational Excellence and Efficiency: Identify service gaps and implement innovative solutions that enhance service delivery and employee experience. Actively champion AI and automation opportunities to streamline operations, eliminate manual work, and free teams globally to focus on high-value strategic initiatives. * Be Hands-On When It Matters: Jump into the details when needed — whether that's resolving a complex case or personally handling escalations that require senior expertise. Model the standard of service excellence you expect from your team by staying connected to the day-to-day. * Deliver Complex, Cross-Functional Projects: Own the execution of time-sensitive initiatives. Ensure every deliverable is on time, within scope, and thoroughly documented — getting personally involved in critical workstreams as needed. * Partner Strategically with Key Stakeholders: Collaborate closely with People Technology, Legal, Total Rewards, PBPs, and other stakeholders. Serve as the primary US-based People Ops point of contact, proactively communicating to keep all stakeholders aligned and informed * Leverage Data to Drive Decisions: Use data to monitor team performance, identify trends, and make evidence-based recommendations that improve service delivery and compliance outcomes across the region and inform global practices. What you’ll need * Deep US Employment Law Experience & Expertise: 6+ years of HR experience with substantial exposure to US employment frameworks, including hands-on experience with California, New York, and Texas labor law. You navigate multi-state regulatory complexity with confidence and can anticipate how changes impact operations across jurisdictions. * Experience Driving Efficiency Through Technology: Track record of implementing AI, automation, or service delivery technologies that improved operational efficiency. Hands-on experience with Workday, including partnering with People Technology to define business requirements for system enhancements or configuration changes, and owning the testing and validation of solutions before go-live. You're comfortable bridging the gap between operational needs and technical execution. * Exceptional Stakeholder Management: Outstanding communication and collaboration skills. You navigate differing professional opinions diplomatically, build consensus across functions and geographies, and maintain strong relationships even in challenging situations. * Hands-On Leadership Experience: You're a roll-up-your-sleeves leader who balances strategic thinking with tactical execution. You're comfortable leading direct reports while also jumping in to handle complex cases, mentor team members, and personally drive critical initiatives to completion. * Proven Leadership at Scale: 2+ years of experience leading direct reports while also coaching, mentoring, and influencing team members outside your direct reporting line. You build capability across teams and elevate performance through effective mentorship and hands-on guidance. * Ability to Simplify Complexity: Demonstrated ability to translate intricate legal and operational requirements into simple, followable how-to guides that non-experts can easily understand and apply. * Strong Program Management: Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously with strict accountability for results. You balance competing priorities while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines — and you're not afraid to get into the weeds when projects need hands-on leadership. * Comfort Operating in Ambiguity: You thrive when building foundational processes from scratch while simultaneously managing urgent escalations. You can establish structure in chaos without losing sight of long-term strategic goals. What's in it for you We want you to feel supported, connected, and ready to grow. Our global benefits package generally includes equity, a wellbeing benefit, a WFH equipment allowance, and an annual Learning & Development stipend. Join a diverse team where you can do your best work. Full benefits may differ per location. If you would like to learn more about location-specific benefits, please refer to our Global Miro benefits board. #LI-JR2
