About the role

As part of the People Ops team team, you will play a key role in helping grow the Injective Labs team. You will own the full-cycle recruitment process, from understanding hiring needs, and identifying top talent to managing candidate pipelines and supporting onboarding efforts.

Beyond recruiting, we are looking for someone who is always thinking about how to improve processes, elevate the candidate experience, and contribute to broader People Operations initiatives. This is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on a fast-growing organization by helping attract and retain exceptional talent.

• Participate in company-wide People Ops initiatives and projects as needed.

Who you are:

• 3-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience within the crypto, blockchain, or Web3 industry.

• Experience managing the end-to-end recruitment cycle, from role briefing and sourcing through to the offer in a startup environment.
