People Operations Partner

Moonvalley is building the next generation creative studio, powered by the most capable video and image foundational models in the world. We are creating the platforms where the first generative Super Bowl ads and Oscar winning movies will be created.

We’re the most pedigreed team in generative AI, with top former Deepmind video researchers leading a research team as deep as any in the industry, product leaders who have built some of the best software products in the world, and an in-house Oscar-nominated movie studio. We’ve also raised $75m from world class investors including General Catalyst, Bessemer, Khosla Ventures & YCombinator.

Job Summary:

You will be Moonvalley’s first People person based in North America, reporting to our Senior People Operations Manager based in London UK, working in a very broad ranging role. Including working with our Talent Acquisition team to hire across the Americas, helping our managers to get the best out of their teams, looking after the day to day People needs of our local teams, and some wider operations responsibilities.

This role is based in Los Angeles, with an expectation of being in the office 3 days per week. The office is a fabulous studio space based in East Hollywood, the LA team is predominately office based (4-5 days per week) and you will also support remote workers across the globe.

What you’ll do (responsibilities)

• Collaborate with the global People team to get the best out of our people

• Support recruitment efforts (including carrying our screening calls)

• Run payroll for US and Canadian entities

• Advise on employment law matters

• Be the go to person for all things People in LA/West Coast

• Grow and develop the Moonvalley culture

What we’re looking for (qualifications)

The ideal candidate for this role should possess:

• Proven capability in a broad People role

• Experience in building People processes for efficiency and scale

• Experience in fast growth companies

• US and Canadian employment law knowledge

• Experience working in DeepTech or Film will be looked highly upon

• Familiarity with HRIS’s (we use Rippling)

• Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills

In our team, we approach our work with the dedication similar to Olympic athletes. Anticipate occasional late nights and weekends dedicated to our mission. We understand this level of commitment may not suit everyone, and we openly communicate this expectation.

If you're motivated by deeply technical problems, a seemingly never-ending uphill battle and the opportunity to build (and own) a generational technology company, we can give you what you're looking for.

All roles at Moonvalley are either fully remote by default or hybrid positions if specified. We meet a few times every year, usually in London, UK or North America (LA, Toronto) as a company.

If you're excited about the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technology and help shape the future of media and entertainment, we encourage you to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
