Senior People Operations Generalist, EMEA
Role Summary
Join Harvey as a Senior People Operations Generalist to support global HR functions and compliance across EMEA and JAPAC regions.
About the Organisation
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Key Responsibilities
- Support the end-to-end employee lifecycle for our global population: onboarding, changes, leaves, exits, and everything in between, as part of a global team with work divided by function and program rather than region alone
- Own our global compliance programs like a program manager: build new processes, maintain and improve existing ones (right-to-work, statutory leave, GDPR/data protection, and more), and drive ongoing efficiency as we add countries
- Serve as the primary point of contact for employees, managers, and external partners (brokers, EOR providers, government agencies) during EMEA/JAPAC hours, given your time zone and regional expertise
- Partner with global payroll and EOR platforms (Deel, Remote, or similar) to manage country-specific new hire and offboarding requirements worldwide
- Build and maintain SOPs so global processes are documented and don't depend on tribal knowledge
- Represent the broader People Ops team on EMEA/JAPAC matters, using good judgment about what needs to wait for US hours and what doesn't
- Partner cross-functionally with People Systems, Legal, IT, Payroll, and Workplace teams based in the US
