In a Nutshell

Vayner is looking for a high-energy, detail-oriented Senior Associate to join our People & Experience Team (PET). Reporting to PET Operations, this role is the operational backbone of our People team, partnering with PET Business Partners, the broader People & Experience Team, and cross-functional stakeholders to keep our people systems, processes, and programs running seamlessly.

You'll own the systems, data, and day-to-day operations that power the employee lifecycle, from maintaining HR systems and ensuring data integrity to coordinating key initiatives, improving processes, and helping build scalable operations as our business grows.

We're looking for a doer, someone who enjoys improving processes as much as executing them, loves a well-organized spreadsheet, appreciates the importance of clean data, rolls up their sleeves and takes ownership from start to finish.

Behind every great employee experience is exceptional operational execution.

At Vayner, we're a team of teachers and lifelong learners. We love mentoring, sharing knowledge, and investing in one another's growth, while welcoming fresh perspectives that challenge us to improve.

You’ll join a team with incredible institutional knowledge and heart, some members of our People & Experience Team have been with Vayner for more than 17 years. We take immense pride in supporting our people, enabling our business, and delivering exceptional experiences every step of the way.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
