About Chainlabs

Chainlabs is a data startup focused on enabling web3 analytics. We specialise in identifying blockchain address ownership and tracking addresses linked to illicit activities. Our work supports industry leaders like Nansen and Arkham in their wallet labelling efforts.

Position Overview

We’re looking for a People/HR Operations Lead (25 hours per week) to support the growth of Chainlabs across HR, general operations, and recruitment. This is a hybrid role that touches multiple facets of the business—from running smooth onboarding and performance reviews to organising team events and streamlining internal processes. You may take ownership of hiring for one or two roles at a time, but you won’t be expected to manage recruitment company-wide.

Key Responsibilities

HR & Onboarding:

• Own the onboarding process end-to-end: set up email/Slack/Notion access, run intro calls, and ensure a smooth entry experience.
• Prepare and deliver documentation to new joiners.
• Conduct 1:1s with team members and escalate feedback, concerns, or improvement opportunities to managers and leadership.
• Coordinate and run performance review cycles (forms, feedback collection, reporting).
• Ensure compliance processes are followed and documented.

Operations & Admin:

• Maintain and update internal databases and spreadsheets with team and contractor information.
• Draft and manage contracts.
• Report relevant hiring and people data to Lunar Rails.
• Continuously improve internal processes and documentation (e.g. onboarding guides, HR policies, templates).

Recruitment: (From time to time)

• Collaborate with hiring managers to create and post job descriptions for full-time and freelance roles.
• Coordinate live and take-home challenges, consolidate feedback, and manage candidate pipelines.
• Conduct reference checks and draft offers.

Requirements

• 2–5 years of experience in a People, HR, or Ops role—ideally in a startup or remote-first environment..
• Highly organised with experience managing documentation, spreadsheets, and internal workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to manage recruitment pipelines and conduct interviews
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, remote setting.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a passion for improving team culture and communication.

Benefits

• Competitive salary.
• Remote work environment with a flexible schedule.
• A team that values data and AI; our founder is a data scientist.
• A company culture that values transparency, speed, courage, and curiosity.
• Exposure to a global network of industry experts and partners
