Belvedere Trading is hiring a People Operations Generalist to join our People Team. This role sits at the analytical core of the function: you'll own People analytics and the HRIS as our system of record, along with compensation market data, the performance review program, and offboarding. You'll own the data and systems that tell us what's happening across the employee lifecycle and help shape how the function evolves as the firm scales.
The ideal candidate will carry People analytics and HRIS ownership at a more analytical level than administration: defining metrics, maintaining data integrity, and empowering managers and leaders to use the data to make decisions. The right person has enough analytical rigor to earn credibility with leaders, and enough People Operations depth to own programs that scale across the full employee lifecycle. This role is ideal for someone who wants real ownership over how a growing People function measures itself, likes working closely with a small team, and wants to build something rather than just maintain it.
Drive People analytics end to end: define the metric set, build the reporting infrastructure, and deliver the headcount, hiring, turnover, and performance reporting leaders use.
Supply and pressure-test the people data behind key workforce questions across the employee lifecycle, and work with the People Partners to turn it into recommendations leaders can act on.
Own the People Operations side of the HRIS and internal Portal, including configuration, access, integrations, and data hygiene.
Lead compensation market intelligence and benchmarking, test bands and guidelines against market movement, and partner with the People Partner to model costs and recommend compensation actions.
Manage the performance review program from design through completion reporting and run the promotion/leveling cycle with the analysis behind it.
Run offboarding end to end, coordinating across People, legal, and payroll, and turn exit data into retention insight.
Automate manual work and continuously improve how People processes run.
Support the broader employee lifecycle alongside the People Operations team, including onboarding, benefits and leave, and day-to-day employee questions.
3+ years in a Generalist, People Analytics, HR/Compensation, or a related analytical role, with real ownership of data, metrics, or systems.
Bachelor’s degree required, equivalent experience considered.
Advanced Excel skills, with a track record of building and auditing complex models.
Able to assemble your own datasets from multiple sources rather than relying on canned reports; SQL or similar querying experience is a plus.
Proven ability to build reporting that others use, in Power BI or a comparable tool.
Hands-on experience owning or administering an HRIS, including configuration, data integrity, and vendor management. Experience with Paycom, Culture Amp, and an HRIS migration is a plus.
Experience with compensation and market benchmarking data, or strong analytical rigor that transfers directly.
Sound judgment handling confidential People data — compensation, performance, and employee relations — including who should have access to what.
Highly organized, proactive, and resourceful, someone who spots what's broken or missing and fixes it without waiting to be asked.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate data into recommendations People partners and leaders can act on.
Able to run multiple concurrent workstreams (analytics, comp, performance cycle, offboarding)
