Edra is 30+ people across New York and London, with aggressive hiring plans in both offices. Every one of those people runs through an offer, payroll in one of two countries, equity in one of two tax regimes, benefits, and the compliance layer underneath it all. We’ve laid the foundation; now we want someone to own it, and to build the version that gets us to 60, 100, and beyond.
You’ll own the employee lifecycle end to end in both countries: US and UK payroll, benefits in both regimes, onboarding, and people compliance across two jurisdictions. At most companies, people ops is carved into slices; here you own the whole stack, with real autonomy to determine how it runs. You’ll own these systems internally, working directly with our payroll providers, benefits brokers, accountants, and employment counsel where specialist expertise is needed.
That’s the exciting part, so we’ll be specific about it: this is a builder and operator role. You’ll inherit working processes and be expected to replace each one as we outgrow it: automating what’s manual, rebuilding for scale, and designing the systems a much larger Edra will still be running down the line. And because we’re an AI company, we expect you to build like one. Edra’s platform is available to you as a tool for your own function, and we want you using it (along with everything else in a modern AI startup stack) to build and run a people operation that’s leaner, faster, and more precise than a traditional people operation. If you’ve ever looked at a payroll reconciliation or an onboarding checklist and thought “a system should be doing this!” this is the place to prove it.
One thing to be upfront about: comp philosophy, equity strategy, and performance management remain Founder-owned. You’ll make those programs operationally excellent: the data, tooling, process, communication, and execution behind them.
