HR Operations Manager

About the Role & Hiring Manager

I'm Tal Adar, and I joined Zenity because I'm genuinely excited to grow the team, advance our vision, and push the technology forward. What drew me here was the caliber of the leadership team and a deep belief in what we're building, helping enterprises work more effectively in an AI-driven world.

As a leader, I value end-to-end ownership, accountability, and a relentless drive to improve, whether something is broken or simply has room to be better. Collaboration is core to how I work, and I bring that same expectation to everyone on the team. We operate with urgency and high standards, and I look for people who take real ownership, communicate proactively, and never stop asking how we can do it better.

This role plays a critical part in our next phase of growth. You'll be the heartbeat of our people's experience in New York and across our remote teams in North America, serving as the go-to HR partner for our US site, owning the full employee lifecycle, championing our global people initiatives locally, and helping build a workplace where people genuinely love to show up.
