- Own and continuously improve core People Operations processes across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, employee data management, internal transfers, leaves, and employment changes.
- Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees and managers on day-to-day people policies, workplace questions, and employee experience matters.

- Experience working at a company during a period of rapid headcount growth or organizational change.
- Demonstrated experience supporting multiple stages of the employee lifecycle, such as onboarding, benefits, HRIS administration, employee relations, performance management, and offboarding.
- Working knowledge of employment practices, HR compliance requirements, and employee-record confidentiality. Experience supporting multi-state or distributed workforces is a plus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain policies clearly and build trust across levels of the organization.
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail, follow-through, and comfort managing several priorities at once.
- A hands-on, resourceful mindset: comfort creating structure where none exists and improving processes as the company grows.
