Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. As our People Operations Associate, you’ll build and own the systems that power our team — everything from recruiting and onboarding to payroll, benefits, and compliance.
You’ll take over work currently handled by external partners and bring it in-house, partnering closely with leadership to scale Profound’s people infrastructure as we grow.
What You’ll Do

Manage Rippling across payroll, benefits, devices, and system integrations.
Partner with recruiters to drive hiring operations, profiling, and headcount planning.
Oversee commission agreements, offer letters, and employment documentation.

Fluent in HR systems (ideally Rippling) and comfortable managing vendors, benefits, and payroll.
Skilled at working with recruiters, lawyers, and finance teams to get things done.
Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive — you see problems before they happen.

Location
This is an on-site role based in our Union Square office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
For this role, the expected base salary range is $120,000 – $150,000.
