Global People Operations Manager

About the role

This role is required to report to our Cambridge office 3 days per week - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Responsibilities

• Shape the Employee Experience: Own the critical first impression EverQuote makes on every new hire. Build an onboarding experience that reflects our culture, clearly communicates expectations, and helps people find their footing fast.
• Optimize Global Operations: Own and continuously improve the full employee lifecycle—from onboarding and offboarding to employment changes, leaves, and compliance. Find the smartest, most efficient ways to manage recordkeeping.
• Drive Total Rewards: Oversee the day-to-day processing of our compensation and benefits programs (including open enrollment). Run annual compensation and benchmarking cycles, delivering data-backed recommendations that keep us equitable and highly competitive.
• Act as a Trusted Partner: Be the highly visible, go-to resource for managers and employees on policies, processes, and general people questions.
• Scale Our Systems: Partner with our HRIS Manager to ensure our tech stack isn't just working, but is built for scale and maximum efficiency.
• Leverage External Expertise: Build and maximize strong working relationships with our external partners—benefits brokers, immigration attorneys, and compensation consultants—acting as a force multiplier for our internal team.

Requirements

• 7+ years of progressive People Operations experience: Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience including at least 3 years in a role owning people ops and total rewards administration at a global or multi-location company.
• Experience navigating US and international (specifically UK/Northern Ireland) employment considerations is a major plus.
• A "roll-up-your-sleeves" mentality paired with a strategic mindset: You are a proactive problem solver who is comfortable operating deep in the details today, with the vision to automate those processes to win back bandwidth for tomorrow.
• Readiness to build and lead: While you will start as a high-impact individual contributor, you have the capability—and perhaps prior experience mentoring or guiding others—to eventually build and manage a small, high-output People Ops team as we scale. You know how to set clear expectations and build a culture of ownership.
• Strong analytical chops: You are highly comfortable analyzing data, building frameworks, and presenting clear, data-backed recommendations to senior leadership.
• Direct, clear communication: You have a knack for translating complex systems, benefits programs, and people decisions into plain language for employees, managers, and leadership alike.
• A collaborative, execution-focused approach: At EverQuote, we are one team with high expectations of each other. You take pride in following through, acting with urgency, and partnering seamlessly across the business.
