Somerset County, NJ, USA · Remote
Posted on Oct 24, 2024
At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).
To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior People Operations & Analytics Manager to lead and drive operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making across our People function. You will work very closely with the Business Ops and People Ops teams, and collaborate cross-functionally with Finance and Legal to ensure seamless execution of projects.
This role requires someone who can balance high-level strategic thinking with detailed, hands-on execution. You’ll need to bring a strong business-oriented approach to People Operations, focusing on data accuracy, compliance, and impactful decision-making.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments, can work independently, and is comfortable driving major projects that impact the entire company. This role requires a strong focus on detail, logic/problem-solving, and execution.

- EOR Provider Assessment: Lead the evaluation of external HR service providers (e.g., Deel, Toku) to optimize service quality and cost-effectiveness.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with leadership and various departments to ensure seamless communication and execution of people initiatives.
What We Look For in You
- 7+ years of demonstrated experience in People Operations & Analytics or a similar analytical & operational role
- Ideally a strong understanding of compensation, token allocation, and compliance, ideally with experience managing token or equivalent equity programs (RTUs, RSUs, etc.).
- Proficient in HR systems (HiBob) and data analytics tools, with expertise in developing and analyzing KPIs.
- Experience working cross-functionally in fast-paced, high-growth startup/scale-up environments, ideally in remote or asynchronous setups.
