About The Position

Neumo is looking for a Director of Total Rewards & People Operations to own the strategy and execution of our people infrastructure.

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you’ll drive outcomes that advance company priorities by building compensation expertise in-house, designing scalable people programs, and ensuring operational excellence across our systems and processes.

This is a high-impact role for someone who can make independent, complex decisions with a company-wide perspective by evaluating tradeoffs in compensation strategy, benefits design, and program implementation while anticipating long-term implications for our unique business model.

We’re looking for someone who believes people operations can be deeply human while using AI to drive efficiency and scale. You’ll be instrumental in building an AI-enabled people operations function that reflects Neumo’s broader mission and culture.
