People Operations Manager

Stuut is transforming accounts receivable for B2B companies—making collections smarter and faster for companies that have historically relied on manual processes that are labor intensive and costly. Our platform is gaining traction with finance teams across industrials, chemicals, and manufacturing sectors from Fortune 10 brands to scaling midmarkets. We're backed by top-tier investors including a16z, Khosla, Activant, 1984 Ventures and Page One.

We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to help build and run the people systems that allow Stuut to scale.

This is a foundational People role. You’ll own the core operating infrastructure across the employee lifecycle: onboarding, performance management, employee data, people systems, compliance, documentation, manager support, and employee experience. You will bring structure to a fast-moving environment without slowing the company down.

This is a great fit for someone who has operated in a high-growth startup, knows what strong People Operations looks like, and is excited to build practical, scalable processes from the ground up. You should be comfortable moving between strategy and execution — writing the policy, fixing the workflow, coaching the manager, updating the HRIS, and improving the process for next time.

You’ll work closely with Finance, Legal, Recruiting, Leadership, and managers across the company.
