Human Interest
Manager, Operations
About this role
Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings. We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more. About the role As an Operations Manager within Customer Success & Operations, you will lead a team responsible for the accurate and timely execution of financial transactions and money movements on behalf of our clients and their participants. Operations at Human Interest serves as a critical connection point between our Customer Success Team—which partners with both the employers who offer 401(k) plans and the employees who participate in them—and our Product and Engineering teams. In this role you will act as a translator, turning frontline customer experience insights from CS into actionable input for Product, while ensuring that product and process changes are operationalized effectively for the people your team serves. You will bring a strong understanding of the transaction lifecycle within a 401(k) or similar regulated financial product, and you will pair that knowledge with an unstoppable drive to improve, automate, and scale operations—always with the discipline to stay lean. Above all, you will never lose sight of the fact that there is a real person behind every name and number on the screen. About the team The CS Operations organization sits at the heart of Human Interest's mission to make retirement savings accessible. Our teams ensure high-value financial transactions for thousands of participants every day are handled seamlessly—ensuring every dollar lands in the right place, on time, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements. We operate in a highly regulated environment where errors carry real and substantial financial risk, so precision is non-negotiable. We maintain data integrity through rigorous review, quality control, and escalation protocols, and we collaborate closely with Customer Success, Engineering, Product, and Compliance to optimize workflows, surface operational insights, and continuously improve the customer experience. We partner tightly with peer teams across Operations to share best practices, understand shared challenges, and strengthen Operations as a whole. We are an organization that values accuracy, innovation, and a deep sense of responsibility to the people whose financial futures depend on what we do. What you get to do every day
