October 15, 2026

Job Description

VRChat is looking to hire a Senior People Generalist. As our Senior People Generalist, you’ll be a trusted partner to managers and a coach to team members throughout their employee lifecycle. You own the infrastructure and the programs that make the function run well every day.

 

 

 

 

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Be a day-to-day partner for managers across the company on people questions, team dynamics, and coaching needs
  • Partner with the Head of People on employee relations across the team, with case-by-case judgment on who leads. As a general guide, you lead on standard  situations (performance concerns, interpersonal friction, accommodations questions, manager-team dynamics) and the Head of People leads on more complex cases or those involving senior team members.
  • Own our core people processes end to end: onboarding, offboarding, benefits administration, compliance documentation, and HR systems. Build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps everything running cleanly.
  • Identify and implement workflow automations and AI tools that create real leverage and resolve problems across People functions
  • Own the operational layer of our performance cycles: setup, timelines, and completion tracking.
  • Build manager enablement resources managers reach for and be the first call for day-to-day people questions. 
  • Build and maintain people dashboards and trackers covering People data.
  • Produce insight-led summaries from data; help us understand what we are seeing, not just what the numbers say.

 

Key Requirements

  • 5 to 7 years of progressive HR experience in a generalist, HRBP, or hybrid HRBP / People Ops role
  • Sound judgment in employment law and employee relations fundamentals
  • Comfort owning a People Ops stack
  • Strong analytical skills, with fluency in spreadsheets and reporting tools
  • Strong written communicator, comfortable building documentation that scales
  • Hands-on, day-to-day experience using AI tools in your HR work
  • Experience supporting globally distributed teams across multiple employment models and regions
  • Fast and iterative; comfortable putting a v1 in front of stakeholders and improving from there
  • Empathetic and decisive; thoughtful in how you weigh tradeoffs, confident in the call you land on
  • Earns trust through follow-through
  • Genuinely aligned with how we work: bold enough to experiment, willing to engage in healthy debate and then commit fully, collaborative by default, and motivated by outcomes
