About the Job

Nakamoto Inc. (Nasdaq: NAKA) is a remote-first company that holds a bitcoin treasury and operates bitcoin-native businesses spanning media and events, fund management, and advisory services. We are a publicly traded parent company managing diverse subsidiary businesses.

We're hiring a People Operations Manager to run day-to-day HR at Nakamoto – payroll, benefits, onboarding and offboarding, and policy – and to collaborate on processes and optimizations with our subsidiary companies (BTC Inc., UTXO, and any future acquisitions). In this role, you'll report to Nakamoto’s Head of Internal Operations and work closely with leaders and HR operators across the broader organization. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

The ideal candidate will have experience in HR and payroll, and an appetite for process development. In a given week, you might help an employee through a benefits change, process tax withholding on an equity award, run a report for the Board of Directors, roll out a new policy, and roadmap a process improvement across companies. While some of our processes are established, we’ll get to do a lot of building together to bring efficiency, clarity, and opportunity to the Nakamoto working environment.

HR policy & compliance

Maintain and update employee handbooks and HR policies across entities
Support compliance with federal and state employment law, including requirements specific to a publicly traded company (insider trading, MNPI policies, etc.)
Flag emerging compliance risks and coordinate remediation with legal and operations

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of HR or people operations experience, ideally in a multi-entity, remote-first, and/or public company environment; payroll experience especially preferred
SHRM-CP or PHR preferred
Hands-on experience processing multi-state payroll, including tax registrations, garnishments, and off-cycle corrections
Facility with Rippling or a comparable HRIS; facility with AI and automation; comfort learning new systems quickly
Working knowledge of benefits administration, 401(k) plan mechanics, and open enrollment processes
Strong attention to detail and a track record of owning complex, multi-threaded work
Comfort operating in ambiguity & building structure where needed
Clear, professional written communication; you'll be the face of HR ops to employees across entities
