Sanity is a Content Operating System for the AI era, trusted by companies like Figma, Spotify, PUMA, Riot Games, Anthropic, and Nordstrom. The company is backed by top-tier investors including GP Bullhound, ICONIQ Growth, and Threshold Ventures, and is experiencing rapid growth.
As Director of People Operations, you will lead and scale Sanity's People function as the organization expands across geographies and headcount. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you'll own the complete operational foundation of the People team and manage a small team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and execute People Operations strategy, owning the architecture and evolution of technology, processes, and analytics across the employee lifecycle.
- Design end-to-end workflows for hiring, HRIS management, onboarding, offboarding, and employee experience that are simple, scalable, and auditable.
- Serve as strategic owner of PEO partnerships (e.g., Rippling, TriNet) and Global EOR relationships (e.g., OysterHR, Deel), managing payroll, benefits, and vendor accountability.
- Own HR compliance posture across multiple states and internationally, ensuring policies are current, audit-ready, and risks are properly escalated.
- Manage and optimize the HRIS platform and connected systems, driving improvements in automation, data accuracy, and AI-enabled workflows.
- Turn People data into actionable insights through headcount reporting, attrition analysis, and core metrics that inform leadership decisions.
- Build and develop a high-performing People Ops team, creating scalable systems and programs that amplify the entire People organization.
- Shape HR policies that reflect company values and evolve with the business, while serving as a trusted partner to employees and managers in complex situations.
You'll leverage AI and automation to eliminate transactional work, freeing the team to focus on judgment, coaching, and strategic partnership. This is an opportunity to define how the People Operations function scales at a high-growth, well-funded technology company.
