People Operations Lead

Remote, United States

About Us

Galileo is a team-based medical practice working to improve the quality and affordability of health care for all. Operating across 50 states, Galileo offers high-touch, data-driven, multi-specialty, longitudinal care to diverse and complex patients—on the phone, in the home, and everywhere in between. Regional and national health plans, employers, and Fortune 500 organizations trust Galileo as the leading solution to improve population health. Founded by Dr. Tom X. Lee, the healthcare pioneer behind One Medical and Epocrates, Galileo is a team of leading innovators from healthcare, technology, and human-centered design. Our mission is to apply that talent and scientific thinking to transform society by solving our largest, toughest healthcare problems, while at the same time bringing patient and provider closer.

About the Role:

The People Operations Lead will serve as the technical backbone of our HR function, owning the systems, data integrity, and operational workflows that enable our People team to scale effectively. Reporting to the Director of People Strategy & Operations, this role combines operational excellence with hands-on execution, requiring a detail-oriented leader who can independently manage complex HR processes while maintaining 100% accuracy in critical People data.

This role is essential to our ability to deliver exceptional employee experiences at scale. You'll own our HRIS infrastructure, design repeatable operational workflows, and serve as the go-to expert for HR systems and data. With the support of cross-functional partners in Finance, IT, and Legal, you'll ensure our People operations run seamlessly—from payroll processing to compliance reporting to employee lifecycle management.

Here's what you'll do:

  • Own the technical infrastructure of our HR function, including HRIS administration, data integrity, and systems optimization across the complete employee lifecycle
  • Design and continuously improve repeatable People Operations workflows, identifying bottlenecks, eliminating manual work, and documenting durable processes through SOPs, checklists, and decision guides
  • Manage end-to-end resolution of People requests in Jira, treating each ticket as an opportunity to strengthen operational processes and improve employee experience
  • Drive proactive data reconciliation and audit processes, catching discrepancies before they impact employees, payroll, or compliance requirements
  • Lead multiple concurrent People Operations projects and initiatives, delivering accurate outcomes on time while managing dependencies and risk across HR, Credentialing, and Recruiting operations
  • Serve as the strategic partner for stakeholders across the organization, translating complex HR processes into clear business context and identifying how organizational changes impact systems and data
  • Build preventive controls and edge case handling into processes, anticipating potential failures before they occur and creating scalable solutions that grow with the company
  • Provide data reporting and analytics that go beyond basic requests—identifying trends, surfacing insights, and flagging anomalies that inform People strategy

About You:

You are a meticulous operator who thrives on building systems and processes that work flawlessly at scale. You possess the rare combination of technical proficiency in HR systems and the strategic judgment to know when to automate, when to create manual controls, and when to escalate. Your ability to spot problems before they happen and your commitment to root cause analysis make you a natural problem-solver who doesn't just fix issues—you prevent them from recurring.

Your experience has taught you that great People Operations isn't just about following processes—it's about designing them with the end user in mind, whether that's an employee navigating benefits enrollment or a finance partner reconciling headcount. You excel in fast-paced environments where you can define operational standards, build infrastructure from the ground up, and establish best practices that enable the organization to scale without sacrificing accuracy or employee experience.

We would love to hear from you if you have the following or equivalent experience:

  • 5+ years in People Operations with hands-on ownership of HRIS administration and core HR operational workflows across the employee lifecycle
  • Deep expertise in HR data management, reconciliation, and reporting, with advanced Excel proficiency (XLOOKUP, pivot tables, data analysis) demonstrated through real-world application
  • Proven track record of managing end-to-end HR processes including payroll operations, benefits administration, and compliance reporting with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
  • Experience designing and documenting operational workflows, creating SOPs, and building scalable processes that reduce manual work and improve efficiency
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent priorities and projects, delivering end-to-end outcomes without formal project management overhead while maintaining zero overdue tickets
  • Strong operational judgment with a track record of identifying edge cases, anticipating downstream impacts, and implementing preventive controls before issues arise
  • Business-minded approach that balances tradeoffs between speed, compliance, employee experience, and cost while maintaining data integrity
  • Experience with ticketing systems (Jira preferred) and HRIS platforms (any major system—Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, etc.)
  • Empathetic and human-centered decision-making that considers policy, employee experience, and business impact in every solution
  • Healthcare experience is not required

Compensation Range: $120,000 - $130,000 based upon prior experience, performance, and market dynamics

Benefits Offered:

  • Medical / Dental / Vision insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account
  • Health Savings Account + match
  • Company paid STD/LTD, AD&D, and Life insurance
  • Paid Family Leave
  • 401K + match
  • Paid Time Off

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.
