Matternet builds and operates autonomous drone logistics networks that move critical goods faster and more sustainably than ground transport. The company is scaling toward the launch of its next-generation M3 platform in a hands-on, fast-moving environment.
You will own and improve the recurring processes that keep employees supported and the company running smoothly, reporting to the Head of People and working onsite at the Mountain View headquarters. This role offers broad, cross-functional experience across People Operations, business administration, and company operations, with opportunities to expand scope based on demonstrated judgment and business needs.
Key responsibilities include:
- Administering recurring People Operations and Administration processes: benefits, employee changes, HRIS updates, leave tracking, required documentation, and employee lifecycle events
- Owning the operational side of onboarding and offboarding, including first-week plans, orientation, systems and equipment coordination, required paperwork, office tours, and consistent employee experience
- Serving as the first point of contact for routine employee questions, resolving requests directly when possible
- Providing recruiting coordination during hiring ramps: interview scheduling, candidate communications, job postings, ATS maintenance, feedback follow-up, reference and background checks, offer documentation, and onboarding handoffs
- Coordinating recurring business-administration processes such as vendor onboarding, purchasing, documentation, and company-wide operational calendars
- Owning and maintaining the company's People and administrative records systems—structure, access, naming, and retention—to ensure information remains organized, secure, and audit-ready as the company scales
- Administering and improving tools and recurring workflows that support People and company operations, reducing redundancy and creating consistency and efficiency
- Coordinating day-to-day workplace and office needs in partnership with Business Operations
- Leading team events, offsites, celebrations, and other programs that contribute to a connected and welcoming workplace
- Tracking cross-functional administrative projects from request through completion, keeping owners, deadlines, documentation, and outstanding decisions visible
- Taking on discrete cross-functional operational projects as needed
Requirements:
- 3+ years in People/HR/Recruiting operations, administration, office/operations management, or a similarly broad operating role, with experience independently owning processes or projects from end to end
- Demonstrated ability to build scalable, efficient processes in a fast-growing company; startup or scale-up experience strongly preferred
- Strong systems and tools fluency, with a knack for streamlining, organizing, and creating order
- Excellent onboarding and employee-experience instincts, plus solid records and document-management skills
- Exceptional organization and follow-through; proactive, resourceful, warm, and discreet with sensitive matters
- Natural cross-functional connector and clear communicator who can summarize issues, surface key details, and identify the action or decision needed
