People Operations Process Design Manager

People Operations at SoFi supports a growing, multi-region workforce across the U.S. and international markets. As we expand into new geographies and continue to mature as a public company, our systems, processes, and service model need to scale with us — without adding unnecessary complexity.

We’re moving from a largely transaction-driven support model to a more standardized, systems-enabled operating model. That means clearer ownership, smarter automation, stronger controls, and processes that actually make sense for the teams using them. We are hiring a Staff People Operations – Process Design to help lead this evolution.

This role reports to the Director of People Operations and operates horizontally across the People Operations function, partnering with our PBPs, COEs, and People Systems teams to design processes and workflows that are clear, scalable, and sustainable over time.

You will be a strong fit for this role if you are someone who thinks in systems, sees patterns across fragmented workflows and has experience building or redesigning processes in complex multi-region environments.
