Fundamental is an AI research lab pioneering enterprise decision-making with NEXUS, the world's most powerful Large Tabular Model (LTM) designed for structured business data. Backed by $275m in funding and trusted by Fortune 100 companies, Fundamental is building the future of enterprise AI.
You will report directly to the Global Head of Talent and manage the full employee journey—from pre-onboarding through benefits, development, and day-to-day people operations. This is a role to build from scratch for a rapidly scaling, category-defining company.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and executing seamless onboarding experiences from contract signing through first months, ensuring consistent welcome and support globally
- Supporting key career and life milestones (promotions, parental leave, relocations, transitions) through coordinated backend work with local partners
- Maintaining the People Ops tech stack to ensure accurate, accessible information and smooth system integrations
- Enhancing and championing benefits offerings across all regions, making options easy to understand and access
- Serving as a trusted point of contact for employee questions, converting common inquiries into clearer documentation and simpler processes
- Automating repetitive tasks using AI and no-code tools to free time for meaningful human touchpoints
- Fostering an inclusive asynchronous workplace through self-serve guides and clear written communication across time zones
- Gathering and acting on employee feedback throughout the lifecycle journey to continuously refine experiences
- Collaborating with the Talent team to create seamless candidate-to-employee transitions
- Nurturing distributed culture through performance development, engagement initiatives, and connection moments
- Ensuring compliance, safety, and fairness across regions with sound judgment on sensitive matters
Fundamental views people and talent operations as a core product. You'll have space to rethink existing processes rather than maintain them, and will actively automate where possible. Everything you design must feel personal, thoughtful, and clear to candidates and employees across the globe, while working asynchronously.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 4+ years in People Operations, Talent, Recruiting, or Program Management, ideally in fast-paced tech
- Hands-on experience configuring and managing people workflows, data, and reporting
- Experience supporting international team members or candidates with optimized processes
- Proven track record of simplifying or rebuilding inefficient operational processes
- Ability to pull and analyze team data to inform decision-making
- Strong written communication skills (docs, Slack, guides)
- High discretion and sound judgment with confidential information
- Ability to work independently in a distributed team environment
Differentiators:
- Experience at a rapidly growing company
- Demonstrated ability to set up smart automations using AI, no-code, or scripting tools
- Personal experience in remote-first teams with ideas on asynchronous onboarding success
- Benefits design or renewal experience across multiple regions
- Familiarity with recruiting tools like Ashby
- Experience running broader people initiatives (performance reviews, engagement surveys, manager development)
