About the role
Bellota Labs builds ClubWPT Gold for the World Poker Tour with 150 employees and contractors across two entities. Reporting to the Head of People Operations, you run the operational core and keep its automation layer working.
This is a broad role for someone who enjoys being close to the business and wants exposure to nearly every part of People Operations. You’ll help own the employee lifecycle, support employees and managers, maintain our People systems and processes, and help us continue building a high-performance culture as the company scales.
The right person is highly organized, resourceful, comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment, and willing to jump between strategic projects and the small details that keep an organization running smoothly.
