About The Position

Clean luxury. Better for you. At Everlane, we believe luxury should be as effortless as it is conscious. We partner with ethical factories, work with premium, sustainably sourced materials, and strive to leave the industry cleaner than we found it. There's still much to do, and we're excited to grow a team of motivated humans ready for the challenge. The journey toward better continues. The People Operations team is responsible for delivering an exceptional, consistent employee experience from a team member’s first day through their last. We’re building People Ops differently — simplifying what’s complex, using data and systems to drive better decisions, and creating processes that actually work for a modern, retail-driven organization. We’re looking for a People Operations Manager to own and evolve the core People infrastructure that supports both our corporate and retail teams. You will oversee the employee lifecycle, compensation and benefits operations, performance processes, and compliance — ensuring Everlane’s people programs are scalable, accurate, and designed with the employee experience at the center. This is a full-time role based in our Los Angeles Arts District office and reports to our VP of People.
