People Operations Specialist

If you've been looking to join a fast-growing startup with a bold vision, exciting challenges and the opportunity to make a genuine difference in the world, you've found the right place.

Backed by General Catalyst, the investors behind companies like Stripe and Airbnb, we're building something extraordinary.

At Goodstack, our mission is to revolutionize how the world does good. We envision a world where doing good is built into everything we do.

As a fast-growing, AI-native social impact startup, we're building the technology and infrastructure that connects businesses and good causes, making it easier to give, grow and create meaningful impact at scale.

By combining AI, automation and human expertise, we're building a future where companies can manage global giving programmes more seamlessly, and nonprofits can access funding faster and more efficiently.

Our ambition is bold, and the challenges are complex. We're looking for curious, ambitious and AI-native thinkers who take ownership, challenge assumptions and use technology creatively to solve meaningful problems.

Hey, future Goodstacker! 👋

I don't expect you to know everything (who does?), but I do expect you to know your HR foundations, bring good judgement, take ownership and stay curious.

And if you're the kind of person who gets a little too excited about a beautifully organised process, I have a feeling we'll get along brilliantly!
