People Operations Coordinator

People Operations Coordinator

Build the Systems Behind the Robots. Together.

At Apera AI, we build breakthrough 4D Vision™ systems that give robots the ability to see and work in the real world. But world-class technology doesn’t scale on its own, it needs strong people systems behind it.

That’s where you come in.

We’re hiring a People Operations Coordinator to design, build, and scale the onboarding, internal communications, and People Operations systems that support our growing team. This role is about turning complexity into clarity, creating structure that helps employees ramp faster, managers operate with confidence, and teams stay aligned as we grow. This is an in-person role based out of our Vancouver office.

This is a hands-on role. You won’t just create and document processes, you’ll build them, run them, and continuously improve them.

What You’ll Actually Do 

• Optimize and run onboarding systems 
  Build structured, role-aware onboarding experiences that take new hires from offer acceptance through their first 90 days with clarity and confidence. 

• Create scalable people processes 
  Map current workflows, design better future-state processes, and implement systems that reduce friction and ambiguity for managers and employees. 

• Build internal communications rhythms
  Establish clear, repeatable people communications across email, Teams, and internal knowledge bases so teams know what’s happening and why. 

• Optimize People Ops tools and automation
  Configure and improve HR systems (e.g., BambooHR) to track onboarding, ownership, and progress, reducing manual follow-ups and administrative overhead. 

• Enable managers and teams
  Create playbooks, guides, and self-serve resources that help managers and employees succeed without constant intervention. 

• Use data to improve experience
  Track onboarding outcomes, participation, and feedback to continuously improve how people experience Apera AI. 

Why This Is a Career Move (Not Just a Job)

This role is a launchpad for someone who wants to grow at the intersection of People Operations, systems design, and scale. You’ll work closely with leaders and technical teams to build people systems that actually work in a fast-moving, high-performance environment. Your work will be visible, impactful, and foundational to how Apera grows. If you enjoy building systems that last and seeing your work scale across an organization, this role is for you. 

Why You’ll Love It Here 

• Purpose with impact
  Your work directly shapes how people experience Apera AI, from day one onward. 

• Freedom to build
  You’ll have the autonomy to design, test, and improve systems that make the company better. 

• Growth through ownership
  This role offers real ownership over onboarding and People Ops foundations, with room to grow as the company scales. 

• A culture that builds
  We move fast, learn quickly, and value clarity, accountability, and collaboration. 

What We’re Looking For

• Experience building or running onboarding, HR operations, or people systems 

• Strong systems thinking:  You like understanding how work actually flows 

• Comfort working cross-functionally with managers, IT, and leadership 

• Clear written and verbal communication skills 

• A builder mindset: you enjoy turning ambiguity into structure 

Why Apera AI 

• You’re building systems that support teams working on real, deployed AI and robotics solutions, not hypothetical future tech 

• The base salary range for this role is CAD $65,000–$72,000/year + stock options, depending on experience, skills, and alignment with role requirements. 

• Equity for every employee, because we all build Apera together 

• A chance to do meaningful, foundational work in a company that values execution and clarity 

At Apera AI, we’re building the future of robotic vision and we’re building the people systems to support it. If this excites you, we’d love to hear from you.
