People Operations Associate

Metabase is the easiest way for people to get insights from their data, from tiny startups who get up and running quickly to major corporations with tens of thousands of users. That's why people love us. We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies. We’re a globally remote, async-first company. Our People function reflects how we operate as a business - lean, practical, and focused on what actually works. We don’t rely on heavy processes or one-size-fits-all programs. We’re hiring a People Operations Associate to support both People Ops and recruiting. This role sits at the center of how the team runs: keeping hiring moving, maintaining strong systems and data, and ensuring day-to-day execution is thoughtful, consistent, and high quality. You’ll work across recruiting, operations, and internal initiatives, building a strong understanding of how a global People function actually operates. You’ll report to the Head of People and work closely across the team, partnering on both People Ops and recruiting efforts. This is a role where you’ll have a real impact through the way you operate - by keeping work moving, maintaining high-quality systems, and following through on the details that make the team effective. We’re looking for someone who wants to learn by doing - someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, curious, and takes ownership of their work. As you build context, there’s room to expand your scope across different areas of People Ops. What You'll Do: Support and coordinate interview scheduling in close partnership with the team - ensuring a smooth, timely, and well-run candidate experience across time zones Support recruiting operations - maintaining ATS data, job postings, candidate pipelines, and overall system quality Contribute to onboarding and offboarding processes - helping ensure a smooth, well-organized experience for new hires and departing team members Maintain accurate People data and documentation across systems, ensuring consistency, organization, and reliability Support planning and execution of company offsites and team gatherings Conduct research and synthesize information to support People Ops and recruiting efforts Identify gaps, follow through on open items, and ensure work is carried through to completion without things stalling or getting lost Provide general support across People Ops - jumping in across projects, processes, and day-to-day operations as needed What we’re looking for: Strong organizational instincts and attention to detail Bias for action - you don’t wait to be told what to do when something needs doing Ability to operate independently and manage your own priorities Clear, concise communicator (especially in async environments) Curious and eager to learn - you want to understand how things work and why Resourceful and able to figure things out without needing constant direction Low ego, high ownership - willing to dive in wherever needed and take responsibility for outcomes Comfortable handling sensitive information with discretion and good judgment This role is likely a good fit if you: Take ownership, follow through, and keep things moving without being asked Are curious, resourceful, and want to understand how things actually work Prefer autonomy and are comfortable operating without a lot of structure This role is likely not a fit if you: Need step-by-step direction or constant check-ins See recurring tasks as something to execute rather than continuously improve Are looking for a purely strategic or senior-level role How we work We’re a globally distributed, async-first team. This role requires significant overlap with US working hours. At Metabase, we value people who get things done, honor their commitments, keep things moving, see
