Parity Technologies is hiring a

Web3 People Operations Manager (m/f/d)

Parity’s mission is to provide open source infrastructure to build a better future internet, aka Web 3.0. Blockchains are a key component in this future Web 3 stack and Parity is a leader in the blockchain space. It is the creator of two ambitious new blockchain projects, Polkadot and Substrate, that makes it easier to experiment and innovate with new ideas for sharding, encryption and governance. Parity is creating an open source creative commons that will enable people to create better institutions through a new wave of peer-2-peer technologies.

Parity envisions the future of the Web as decentralised and secure, giving users more autonomy so that they can verify the systems that they are increasingly relying on, instead of trusting the current services’ providers. Parity is an international team composed of more than 180 members from over 30 countries, with offices in Germany, the UK and Portugal.

We continue to undergo huge growth and are currently seeking a dedicated and well-organised, energetic individual to take initial ownership of People Operations for Parity’s new Lisbon office. You are a real self-starter, have gathered hands-on experience with running People Operations autonomously and ideally have been involved in bootstrapping an office (or even company) in Portugal in the past. You successfully liaise with external partners and government institutions and have a solid working knowledge of Portuguese Labor Law. As Parity is a successful, rapidly growing company, we expect you to have an “all hands on deck” mentality, and you should expect your role to evolve during your time here.

We encourage you to also have a look at other open positions to get a feeling for the current needs at Parity.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Act as the main contact person for Parity employees based in Portugal
• Ongoing coordination with external consultants, government offices and service providers on topics like employment law, social security, and payroll
• Support relocation of Parity team members to Portugal, including visa support, with the help of external consultants
• Support core People Operations areas for our other entities (UK & Germany) as needed, such as employee data management, absence tracking, employee requests, and reporting
• Initiate and work on exciting new People Operations projects together with the People Operations team in Berlin

THIS JOB IS FOR YOU IF YOU…

• Successfully liaise with external partners, such as consultants, payroll providers, and government institutions
• Show great attention to detail

NICE-TO-HAVES

• You have been involved in bootstrapping an office (or even company) in Portugal in the past

BENEFITS

• Because we value initiative and learning, we've defined a generous personal development budget for each employee
• We offer a very remote-friendly company setup (even before Corona!)
• You will have the option to work from our newly established work space in Lisbon
• Bringing the team together is something we value a lot, so we used to regularly go on team retreats and are planning to do so again, once the international health regulations allow it
