Distyl AI is an applied AI technology company partnering with major institutions across telecom, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, and consumer goods to rearchitect critical operations for the AI frontier. The company researches and deploys AI-native operational technologies affecting hundreds of millions of consumer interactions, tens of millions of supply chain transactions, and millions of patient journeys. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, Coatue, DST Global, and board members from 20+ Fortune 500 companies. You will serve as the connective tissue between candidates, new hires, and their teams, owning roughly equal parts recruiting coordination and people operations. On the recruiting side, you will manage interview scheduling and logistics across multiple concurrent searches (technical and non-technical roles), serve as the primary candidate contact point, coordinate availability across candidates and interviewers, flag bottlenecks proactively, maintain pipeline hygiene in Ashby, and support offer logistics. On the people operations side, you will own end-to-end onboarding including background checks, paperwork, I-9 verification, and travel arrangements; coordinate benefits administration and enrollment; maintain HRIS data accuracy; prepare employment documentation; support employee lifecycle processes (role changes, leaves, offboarding); and contribute to people programs and team events. Across both functions, you will identify opportunities to use AI tools for scheduling, communication, onboarding, and reporting; suggest and drive process improvements in ambiguous situations; and handle confidential information with care and judgment. You will partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and the People team. This is an ideal first or second step into a generalist People career for someone seeking real ownership and exposure to both talent acquisition and people operations at a fast-growing, venture-backed company. REQUIREMENTS: - 1–3 years of experience as a Recruiting Coordinator, People Operations Coordinator, HR Coordinator, or similar role, ideally at a startup or tech company (strong internship experience combined with exceptional ownership also considered) - Organized and detail-oriented; able to manage many moving pieces without dropping details - Candidate and employee-first mentality; treat every interaction as an opportunity to make someone feel supported - Strong written and verbal communication; ability to write clear, friendly emails that build rapport - Trustworthy with sensitive information; sound judgment handling personal and employment data - AI-native working style; regular use of AI tools and excitement about finding new applications - Bias towards process improvement; initiative to fix inefficient workflows rather than work around them - Comfort with ambiguity; ability to work across two functions and multiple stakeholders when processes are not fully defined - Nice to have: Experience with Ashby or similar ATS, Rippling or similar HRIS/benefits platforms, and exposure to US employment basics (onboarding compliance, benefits enrollment cycles)
