At Vynca, our mission is to provide comprehensive care for more quality days at home.
We are seeking a People Operations Manager to lead the operational backbone of our People function. This is a critical hire: you will own payroll, benefits, multi-state tax and employment registration, HRIS administration, and compliance operations for a fast-growing 220-person distributed workforce. You will directly manage our Sr. Payroll & Benefits Administrator and our future HR Compliance Specialist, and serve as the go-to expert for the operational and regulatory complexity that comes with supporting clinical teams across the country.
You will be joining a mission-driven team at an inflection point. Our work directly supports clinicians and care navigators who are making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients with serious illness and complex needs. We take compliance and operational excellence seriously — not as bureaucracy, but as care for our people. This role is right for someone who has done this work before, ideally in healthcare or another highly regulated, multi-state environment, and who can move fast without cutting corners. You are equally comfortable running accurate payroll and presenting a compliance risk summary to leadership.
This is a remote position with occasional travel required for training, meetings, and other business needs. At this time we are only considering applicants in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, with a preference for applicants based in MST or CST.
