What You’ll Do

CoreWeave is hiring a Senior Manager, Employee Lifecycle Operations - APAC, based in Singapore, to build the operating foundation for our employees across the region.

APAC is new for CoreWeave. That means there isn't a mature regional playbook to inherit—and that's the opportunity. You'll build the systems, workflows, and operating rhythms behind the employee lifecycle, from onboarding and job changes to leave, contracts, benefits, and offboarding. You'll do the work hands-on today, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the region scales.

We're also looking for someone who is curious about what People Operations should become. AI is changing what's possible: how employees get answers, how work gets routed, how risk is surfaced, and how much operational work should require a human at all. You'll have the space—and expectation—to rethink the model, not simply digitize the old one.

About the role

Build APAC People Operations from the ground up. Create the lifecycle infrastructure that can take us from our first employees in a market to operating at scale without rebuilding everything along the way.
Own the employee lifecycle end to end. Onboarding, offboarding, job changes, contracts, statutory leave, employee questions—you'll make the experience work across countries, systems, and teams.
Make Workday work harder. Own APAC lifecycle processes and data integrity, simplify workflows, and translate what the business needs into systems that actually work for employees and managers.
Design global, solve local. Start with CoreWeave's global operating model, then adapt intelligently when regulation or the realities of a market require something different.
Build AI into the operating model, not around it. Look for work that shouldn't be manual, questions that shouldn't require a ticket, and signals we should be catching sooner. Experiment, measure what works, and turn the best ideas into durable workflows.
Launch new countries well. Partner with Legal, Payroll, Total Rewards, Finance, and our expansion teams to make sure the operational foundation is ready before the first employee starts.
See around corners. Use lifecycle data, employee feedback, and operational signals to find friction and risk before they become bigger problems.
Build for the team that comes next. You'll be hands-on initially, but you won't design a function that depends on you forever. As APAC grows, you'll help define and ultimately lead the team needed to scale it.

Who You Are: Deep experience in People Operations, typically built over 6–8+ years, with meaningful exposure to multi-country environments.

Strong Workday HCM expertise. You understand business processes, data, and workflows deeply enough to challenge how they're designed—not just operate them.
Experience building something from zero or materially reinventing an existing operating model.
Strong judgment across multi-country employment operations. You don't need every answer memorized; you know where the risks are, when local nuance matters, and how to get to the right answer quickly.
A track record of making operations simpler, faster, and more scalable through better processes and automation.
Genuine curiosity about AI and how it changes the future of People Operations. You're experimenting with it already and want to push beyond obvious use cases.
The ability to operate independently, make decisions with incomplete information, and create clarity where none exists yet.
Strong partnership instincts across People, Legal, Payroll, Total Rewards, Finance, and technical teams.
