About the role

We’re looking for a highly organised and detail-oriented People Operations Associate to support our People & Talent team in keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly. This role is a key part of the engine that keeps Aave Labs’ people experience consistent and efficient.

You’ll be supporting on the essentials - onboarding new joiners, maintaining accurate employee data, visa and background check processes, and ensuring our systems and records stay up to date. You’ll also assist with coordination across the Talent function, helping to schedule interviews, manage candidate logistics, and support recruitment operations as needed.

If you’re someone who loves structure, takes pride in getting the details right, and enjoys making things more efficient, you’ll fit right in here. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the foundations of a growing global team in a fast-evolving Web3 environment.

How you can make an impact:

Coordinate onboarding for new joiners, including documentation, swag, and system setup
Maintain accurate employee data across our HRIS, ATS, and other internal tools
Support employee lifecycle changes such as role updates, promotions, and offboarding by managing the necessary administrative steps and documentation
Handle background checks, visa coordination, and other compliance-related tasks
Support the Talent function with interview scheduling, candidate coordination, and recruitment-related admin
Keep our learning management system (LMS) current and organised, ensuring content and access are up to date
Help identify process improvements and opportunities to simplify or automate repetitive tasks
Provide administrative support for payroll, benefits, and immigration in collaboration with Finance and Legal
Assist with ad hoc projects across recruitment and other People team initiatives

Let's connect if:

3+ years’ experience in People Operations, HR coordination, or a similar role - ideally within a high-growth, global, or tech environment (Web3 experience is a big plus)
Experience working with HRIS, ATS, and LMS systems
Strong attention to detail and accuracy when handling data, records, and documentation
Excellent organisational skills - you keep things on track and know how to prioritise competing tasks
A proactive and collaborative mindset, with a focus on getting things done efficiently and accurately
Ability to handle confidential and highly sensitive information
Interest in the Web3 space and curiosity about how People and Talent operations can evolve in a decentralised world

Haven’t quite met all the criteria? Let’s not miss out on the chance to speak. Whilst you might not meet every single requirement, you might bring other, more exciting skills to the companies!
