People Operations Partner

WHO WE ARE 🌍 Manychat is a leading chat marketing platform, helping businesses engage with their customers on Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram. Trusted by over 1 million brands in 170+ countries, we're an official Meta Business Partner, backed by Bessemer Venture Partners. With 400+ teammates across offices in Austin, Barcelona, Yerevan, São Paulo, and Amsterdam — we're building the infrastructure of conversational commerce. THE CONTEXT Manychat's People Operations runs on a hub model. Each location — Spain, Netherlands, Brazil, Armenia, US — has a People Operations Partner who owns everything: the full employee lifecycle on the ground, the local workplace experience, and the day-to-day people experience in that hub. You are Manychat Spain's trusted People Operations expert. You operate within a global framework — global standards, tools, and domain leads who own Payroll, Compliance, People Tech, Workplace & Experience, and Rewards. But in Barcelona, the experience lives with you.
