Full Job Description

📋 Description

• At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
• This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
• Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are.
• If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we’d love to build with you.
• At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
• We're hiring a Senior People Operations Generalist to join our global People Operations team. You'll support our entire global population — onboarding, compliance, day-to-day HR questions — in true partnership with the rest of the team, with work divided by focus area rather than by region.
• You'll also take on our global compliance programs almost like a program manager: building them, maintaining them, and continuously improving how they run as we scale into new countries.
• Based in Ireland or the UK, your experience and time zone will naturally make you the go-to person for EMEA and JAPAC coverage — making calls in real time while the rest of the team is offline.
• You'll report to our Senior Manager, People Operations and join a broader team of People Operations Generalists and Coordinators. This is a senior generalist role for someone who wants real ownership of a global function, with the backing of a larger team behind them.
• Support the end-to-end employee lifecycle for our global population: onboarding, changes, leaves, exits, and everything in between, as part of a global team with work divided by function and program rather than region alone.
• Own our global compliance programs like a program manager: build new processes, maintain and improve existing ones (right-to-work, statutory leave, GDPR/data protection, and more), and drive ongoing efficiency as we add countries.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for employees, managers, and external partners (brokers, EOR providers, government agencies) during EMEA/JAPAC hours, given your time zone and regional expertise.
• Partner with global payroll and EOR platforms (Deel, Remote, or similar) to manage country-specific new hire and offboarding requirements worldwide.
• Build and maintain SOPs so global processes are documented and don't depend on tribal knowledge.
• Represent the broader People Ops team on EMEA/JAPAC matters, using good judgment about what needs to wait for US hours and what doesn't.
• Partner cross-functionally with People Systems, Legal, IT, Payroll, and Workplace teams based in the US.

🎯 Requirements

• 4–6 years of HR/People Ops experience, ideally including time in a mature, multi-country organization.
• Experience running compliance like a program: building, maintaining, and improving processes over time, not just administering them.
• Strong, hands-on knowledge of employment law and compliance in at least one region outside the US — EMEA and/or JAPAC experience preferred, given the time zone value it brings.
• Working knowledge of GDPR and HR data protection requirements.
• Experience with HRIS/payroll platforms such as Workday, Deel, or Remote.
• A track record of working independently across a global, distributed team, with good instincts about when to escalate and when to just handle it.
• A strategic mindset with a strong inclination for program and project management.
• Excellent written communication, given the async nature of working across time zones.
• Comfort being the go-to point of contact for a region during your hours, and the confidence to represent the function externally.

🏖️ Benefits

• We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to applicants with disabilities, and requests can be made by emailing [email protected]
• Harvey is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, or any other basis protected by law.
