What This Role Is

Talent Operations touches the entire distance between the day someone accepts an offer and the day they eventually leave, onboarding, payroll, policy, workplace, travel, global mobility, the data and systems that hold all of it together. Most companies split this work across several dedicated teams. Manifest asks a small, sharp team to hold all of it at a standard that doesn't slip, and increasingly, to run it on AI and automation as the default way of working, not a talking point bolted onto an old process.

This matters beyond keeping the trains running. Talent Operations is the function every employee touches constantly and every executive assumes just works, until it doesn't. And for a company that grows partly through acquisition, this function is where a good deal quietly becomes a bad one or a genuinely smooth integration, because onboarding, payroll, and systems migration are where new employees actually experience whether the acquisition was handled with care.

This role owns a real slice of that map, allocated as you join, and is built for someone who can move fluidly across it rather than specializing narrowly in one lane. You bring data and AI-native tools to bear on operational work that most companies still run manually, which is exactly what lets a team this size hold a scope this wide.

You own making the operational backbone of the employee experience run the way Manifest's own product does: systemized, data-informed, and genuinely good.

What Makes This Role Different

Most Talent Operations roles let you go deep in one lane and stay there, payroll people stay in payroll, onboarding people stay in onboarding. This one deliberately doesn't. You're a true generalist across the full employee lifecycle, which means a faster learning curve, far more exposure than a specialist track ever offers, and real involvement in acquisition integration work most people in this function don't get near until much later in their careers.

The Manifest ecosystem means your generalist range gets used across five brands and multiple geographies, not one company's steady-state operations. Every acquisition, every new market, every policy that has to work across jurisdictions is a chance to actually use the breadth you bring, not a complication to work around.
