Role Summary

Role: HR Operations Manager

Location: Fremont, CA

We’re not looking for a policy enforcer, we’re looking for a system builder, a workflow hacker, and a people-ops visionary. As Pebble’s first HR Operations Manager, you’ll architect and own the people infrastructure that powers our scaling organization. From the factory floor to cross-border engineering teams, you’ll be embedding smart, scalable HR systems into the DNA of the company. You’ll help us go from “early-stage messy” to “high-growth precision” without losing our soul along the way.

Responsibilities:

Build and scale: Architect core HR processes that are fast, clean, and built for scale—onboarding, offboarding, time tracking, compliance, and everything in between.
Data-first HR: Manage our HRIS and reporting stack like an ops system, not an afterthought. Make data visibility and actionability your superpower.
Performance & growth: Design frameworks for performance reviews, career pathing, and internal mobility that fuel high performers—not bureaucracy.
Digitize and automate: Lead our transition from spreadsheets and manual workflows to integrated, intelligent HR platforms and self-service systems.
Cross-functional impact: Partner with supply chain, engineering, manufacturing, and executive leadership to embed HR strategy into real-world operations.
Special projects: Jump into recruiting, culture design, compliance, or org development initiatives as needed. This is a startup and we wear many hats.

Qualifications:

10+ years in HR operations, preferably across both hands-on and strategic roles in fast-moving environments.
Experience in startups, manufacturing, or complex technical organizations.
Strong process design chops: you don’t just patch inefficiencies—you redesign them out of existence.
Data-literate and tech-savvy: fluent in HRIS systems, ATS systems, Jira, Google Workspace, and productivity tools.
Comfortable with ambiguity and biased toward action. You move quickly, learn constantly, and lead with clarity—even when the map isn’t drawn.
Collaborative, grounded, and deeply human—you understand that great operations are built for and with the people they support.
Experience supporting non-exempt workforces, shift scheduling, and labor compliance preferred Exposure to international HR practices and distributed teams will be beneficial
Prior experience leading digital HR transformation or systems implementation
