Founding People Ops Manager

At Evvy, we believe the female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery.

We are a precision women’s health company leveraging the vaginal microbiome to improve outcomes across a woman's lifespan. Backed by $30M+ from leading investors, we serve over 100,000 patients and 2,000 providers nationwide with our validated Vaginal Microbiome Test and AI-powered personalized care platform.

Through this work, we have built the world’s largest dataset on the vaginal microbiome — a proprietary foundation that will drive breakthroughs in infertility, preterm birth, gynecological cancers, and beyond.

Why join now?

Evvy is a generational opportunity in women's health — and we're at the inflection point.

• We’ve built a dataset no one has. Evvy has generated the world’s largest vaginal microbiome dataset from 100,000+ patients, uncovering novel biological markers underlying women’s health conditions that collectively cost the healthcare system $180B+ annually.

• Validated, AI-first platform. We’ve built a comprehensive testing and care platform that unlocks personalized treatment pathways for each patient. Our work is supported by research published in major peer-reviewed journals and presented at major clinical conferences (including ACOG, ASRM, IDSOG, and more).

• Proven traction, massive opportunity. We serve 100,000+ patients and 2,000 providers nationwide, with rapidly growing revenue and an expanding suite of diagnostics and treatments to improve outcomes across condition areas. We've only scratched the surface.

• Top tier team, investors, and partners. Our world-class team is backed by industry leading investors, including General Catalyst, Left Lane Capital, US Fertility, and Labcorp.

We're looking for high-horsepower, mission-driven people who find it unacceptable that the female body is still a medical mystery — and want to help change that.

We’re looking for a People Ops Manager to build and run the people function as Evvy scales. Reporting to the Head of Finance, you’ll own the full surface area as our first in-house people hire: employee lifecycle, benefits, compliance, performance management, office management, and culture. You’ll set the tone for what working at Evvy feels like.

This is a role for someone who is equal parts operator and culture-builder: rigorous about systems and compliance, warm about the human side, and energized by an in-person team. This role is NYC-based and in-office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote); you’ll be the heartbeat of our NYC office and the day-to-day partner to managers and teammates across the company.

Evvy is a primarily in-person team based in New York, NY. Given the cross-functional nature of this role, our ideal candidate is located in NYC.

• Support team leaders in designing & executing recruiting processes

• Own onboarding and offboarding end-to-end: paperwork, equipment, system access, day-one experience, and exit interviews.

• Run bi-annual performance management cycles: self-assessments, manager assessments, peer feedback, and 1:1 cadences.

• Manage leaves of absence (parental, medical, sick) and accommodations with sound judgment and legal rigor.

• Own annual benefits renewal: review options, negotiate with brokers, communicate changes, and run open enrollment.

• Own compliance, trainings, and tracking for employees (eventually including HIPAA)

• Run our NYC office day-to-day: vendor management (cleaning, IT, food), supplies, mail, and maintenance.

• Plan and execute social events and offsites that reflect Evvy’s culture: team dinners, happy hours, themed gatherings.

• Own the people tech stack; identify gaps and bring in tools that scale with us.

• Build manager guides and decision trees for common scenarios (performance issues, leaves, terminations, accommodations).

• Serve as the primary point of contact for employee questions; resolve most independently and escalate the rest with sound judgment.

• Partner with leadership and managers to shape culture moments that scale as we grow.

• Document policies, processes, and playbooks so people ops scales beyond any one person.

• 5–7 yrs of People Operations or HR experience, with 2–3+ years in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Based in NYC and able to be in our office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote). This is a hard requirement.

• Hands-on experience across the full people stack: benefits, compliance, performance management, employee relations, and lifecycle operations.

• Strong working knowledge of NY and federal employment law (EEO, ADA, FMLA, NYC sick leave, pay transparency); comfortable owning the employee handbook.

• Experience with HRIS/PEO platforms (Justworks, Rippling, Gusto, or similar) and a track record of keeping people data clean.

• Office management or workplace experience chops: you’ve run an office before and know what makes one feel like a great place to be.

• A culture builder: thoughtful about the small rituals that bring teams together; experienced running social events, offsites, and team gatherings.

• Excellent judgment in confidential or sensitive situations; you keep things calm, fair, and legally defensible.

• Self-starter with a builder’s mindset: sees the gap, designs the solution, executes.

It’s a plus if you have:

• Experience as the first People hire at a growing company.

• Healthcare or life sciences exposure (HIPAA, clinical hires, regulated environments).

• Background planning multi-day offsites or large team events end-to-end.

• Familiarity with NY-specific compliance (NYS Paid Family Leave, NYC Earned Safe and Sick Time Act).

Evvy is a primarily in-person team based in New York, NY with a strong culture of collaboration and connection. We work from the office 4 days a week (Wednesdays remote), and we genuinely enjoy spending time together: team dinners, happy hours, and shared wins are part of the rhythm here.

Figure it out. We take initiative, embrace ambiguity, and build from first principles.
Create win-wins. We solve problems with patients, partners, and the business in mind.
Own it to the end. We close every loop and take pride in the details.
