MagicSchool is a generative AI platform for teachers with over 7 million users globally, founded just over 2 years ago. The company is seeking a Senior People Operations Manager to build and own the HR infrastructure and systems that enable the People function to scale reliably.
In this role, you will own the complete people systems and data infrastructure, including HRIS, PEO, and Lattice platforms. You'll be responsible for configuration, vendor relationships, and system hygiene, while building a unified data layer that connects HRIS, payroll, and equity administration. This creates a single source of truth for headcount, compensation, and employment data that leadership can use with confidence.
Key responsibilities include designing and maintaining employee lifecycle workflows from onboarding through exit, creating scalable templates and documentation that reduce rework as the company grows. You'll project-manage the transition from the current PEO to a new vendor, ensuring benefits and payroll continuity while standing up a new contingent workforce vendor for contractor administration and compliance. You'll also own end-to-end IT provisioning and deprovisioning in partnership with IT, and manage the Employer of Record relationship for Canadian employees.
You'll bring 5-8 years of HR operations or people operations experience with meaningful time on systems implementation and operational infrastructure. You must have a proven track record leading a PEO transition, HRIS implementation, or comparable infrastructure project. Experience with EOR and contingent workforce management is preferred.
This is an ownership-oriented role where you build the playbook rather than wait for one. You think in terms of data hygiene, source-of-truth principles, and system integrations. You flag blockers early, close loops without being chased, and treat this as a true ownership role rather than a support function.
MagicSchool offers unlimited time off, employer-paid health insurance with dental and vision, generous stock options vesting over 4 years, 401k match, and a monthly wellness stipend. The company is mission-driven, focused on making education more efficient and equitable through AI technology.
