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.

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.

HR Data Management & System Improvements: Maintain 100% data accuracy and integrity within HR systems (HiBob), ensuring efficient reporting and seamless compliance monitoring.
Policy Development & Benchmarking: Drive policy development on topics such as parental leave and offsite guidelines. Ensure alignment with the company’s long-term strategy through strong documentation and benchmarking.
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.

Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive, methodical approach to policy development and benchmarking.
