About Kojo
It's time to build. Whether it's creating more housing, upgrading our infrastructure, or adapting to climate change, one thing is clear: the construction industry is at the center of solving our biggest problems. We’re making buildings cheaper and easier to build by transforming the way commercial construction companies buy their materials. Join us.
Founded in 2018, Kojo is now one of the fastest-growing construction technology companies in the world. Construction accounts for $10 trillion in global spend annually and we can’t live without its output - our roads, schools, hospitals, and offices. Despite this, there’s been very little innovation over the past 70 years in how materials - which constitute up to 40% of project costs - are bought and sold. This is our opportunity.
We’re looking for an amazing People Operations Manager who will support and strengthen the employee experience through a high level of empathy and action, ensuring a consistent and optimal remote work experience for our team as well as operational excellence for People Operations. This role reports directly to the VP of People and will be responsible for creating, implementing and managing people programs, policies, and processes related to: onboarding, offboarding, systems, data, payroll, total rewards, benefits and leave administration, and compliance, in partnership with the VP of People.

- Build trust with employees and provide a high quality employee experience by resolving issues promptly and responding to employee questions and concerns related to payroll, benefits, compensation, leaves, and other established or new processes
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with external vendors, such as insurance carriers, benefit providers, and third-party administrators
