People Operations Associate at Metabase in Remote
Skills
Job Description
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.

We’re hiring multiple Technical Sourcers to focus exclusively on identifying, engaging, and attracting outstanding technical talent globally. This role is intentionally focused on sourcing high-caliber technical candidates and building pipelines that convert into strong hires. You’ll be supported by a well-developed recruiting operation and experienced hiring partners. That said, sourcing here is treated as a specialist craft - not a coordination role, not a volume game. We value judgment, signal detection, and thoughtful outreach over activity metrics. You’ll have autonomy, context, and high expectations. This engagement begins as a contract, with the potential to transition to full-time based on results and impact.

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, seek to understand, and are thoughtful (at speed). Our People function is focused on caring for the team in ways that reflect how they want to be supported - not through rigid programs, but through good judgment and well-executed fundamentals.
We don’t optimize the process for its own sake. We trust people to use good judgment, operate with context, and take responsibility for their work. That means fewer handoffs, less rigid structure, and more ownership — regardless of role or level.
Why this role matters
Why This Role Is Contract First Technical sourcing is inherently results-driven. Starting as a contract allows both sides to assess fit, working style, and impact before considering a longer-term arrangement. Structure and scope will be determined collaboratively.
