About The Role
The role owns the day-to-day systems and programs that keep a growing distributed workforce running: onboarding, benefits administration, HRIS data integrity, compliance, and the policies behind them.
This work directly shapes how employees experience the company. As headcount scales, the People Operations Specialist builds the processes and tooling that make people programs reliable, compliant, and genuinely useful to employees and managers.
Key Responsibilities
Own HRIS administration (Rippling, BambooHR, or Workday), maintaining accurate employee records, org data, and workflows
Run end-to-end onboarding and offboarding: systems provisioning coordination, compliance paperwork, orientation, and equipment logistics
Administer benefits programs including open enrollment, carrier changes, leave of absence management, and 401(k) coordination
Support performance review cycles and compensation planning in tools like Lattice or ClearCompany
Maintain compliance with federal, state, and multi-state employment requirements, including I-9/E-Verify and required postings
Build and improve People team documentation, policies, and self-serve resources for employees and managers
Analyze people data (headcount, attrition, engagement) in Looker or Google Sheets and report insights to People leadership
What We Are Looking For
3-6 years of experience in People Operations, HR generalist, or people-team roles at high-growth companies
Hands-on HRIS administration experience (Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, or similar)
Working knowledge of multi-state employment compliance, benefits administration, and leave management
Experience supporting distributed or remote-first teams
Strong written communication and documentation habits
Comfortable with people data and building simple analyses and reports in Sheets or Excel
Bonus: experience with equity administration (Carta, Pulley), HRIS migrations, or building People Ops processes from scratch at an early-stage company
