Remote · Remote possible
Right now, the best jobs are limited to people in a handful of the world’s wealthiest cities, yet brilliant people are everywhere. Driven to overturn the status quo and distribute opportunities equally around the world, Oyster launched its global employment platform to help companies hire, pay, and care for talent anywhere.
When it comes to global employment, we walk the walk. We’re proof that companies don't need an office to create a highly-engaged culture. Since the company’s inception in January 2020, Oyster has:
Our momentum speaks to the power of global employment—and we’re just getting started! If you want to change the world with Oyster and be empowered to work remotely while doing so, we’d love for you to apply!
Location: While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster’s positions are fully remote and you can work from home. Forever. The person in this role needs to be located within UTC + / - 6 hrs.
You will be joining our People Services team as an International HRBP, supporting our team members and customers across your allocated countries (US & UK). Your pragmatic approach to HR topics combined with your extensive country HR experience will help guide our internal Oyster teams to best support our team members and customers. With your customer-focused outlook and your ability to solve even the most complex HR matter, you will make our customers wish that they had our HR for all their matters, even beyond distributed workers!
This is 6 month fixed-term employment contract.
Manage Complex ER Matters: With human-centricity and risk mitigation at the forefront, you will autonomously navigate, manage, and resolve complex ER matters. This could include conducting investigations, managing disciplinaries, and leading terminations. This will also include matters related to both performance and behaviors.
Cross-functional Partnership: You will partner across Oyster, including with our Legal team, Business Units, and Revenue teams. Additionally, as a customer-facing HRBP, you will work closely with our customers in delivering solutions and providing practical guidance.
Team Collaboration: You will work closely with your fellow HRBPs & HR Advisors, whether partnering on projects or supporting one another with case management or country cover. We’re a super collaborative team, so there will be plenty of opportunities to explore new countries, jump into projects, or work together on a BAU initiative.
HR Information & Knowledge: You will provide guidance and advice on HR topics that cannot be resolved by our first-line teams. You will also draft and quality-check country-specific information on a wide range of HR topics, and will seek opportunities to proactively improve country-specific HR information. You will also distil your knowledge to several audiences - whether providing training for internal Oysters to increase their knowledge, working with teams to problem-solve country-specific issues, or joining customer calls when there are country-specific HR queries.
Project Ownership & Support: You will actively contribute to People Services projects and cross-team projects as we work towards our Mission to enable companies to hire anyone, anywhere!
Our values guide the work we do, the decisions we make, and the culture that makes us special. We elevate talent. 🙌 We build trust. 🤝 We thrive together. 🌍
Our mission is to create a more equal world—one global hire at a time. Everything we do ladders up to our mission—and that doesn’t just mean building software. We develop programs, participate in workshops, and create dedicated teams to ensure we successfully support companies and knowledge workers in this new world of work.
We embrace asynchronous communication and collaborative work—and we share how we work in the Oyster Public HQ —to help other global teams learn from our experiences.
Different countries have different statutory benefits, different cultures have different norms, and different people have different needs! In order to best support and encourage our diverse team, we’ve created How YOU Work; a program of policies, practices, and perks to support your whole human experience as an employee at Oyster.
At Oyster, we celebrate a variety of perspectives and experiences and we’ve intentionally built our product and our company with an inclusive, global mindset. We know from experience that people from underrepresented groups often don’t apply for roles they don’t feel they meet all the criteria for. We’re committed to elevating talent by creating a trust-based environment where we can all thrive together. So if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily check every single box, please consider applying. We’d love to hear how you might contribute to our mission and our team.
