Job Description

Our well-known AI client is hiring two People Operations Specialists to join their People Services team within Data Solutions. This is a high-volume, operational role for someone who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and enjoys solving problems through process improvement and automation. You will serve as frontline support for employees, handling a large volume of tickets and requests daily while maintaining exceptional accuracy and attention to detail.

What you’ll do

  • Manage high volume of People Services tickets in a Jira-based ticketing system
  • Perform administrative tasks in Workday (HRIS)
  • Execute data entry and spreadsheet-heavy operational work with extremely high accuracy
  • Provide employee-facing support (internal customer service)
  • Support onboarding workflows and contractor onboarding/offboarding as you ramp
  • Identify and implement process improvements, including automation opportunities using AI tools
  • Take on additional operational projects based on team needs

Qualifications

  • 2-5 years of professional experience
  • East Coast based (or clearly aligned to East Coast screening constraint)
  • Startup and/or high-growth environment experience strongly preferred
  • Extreme attention to detail and ability to move quickly with high accuracy
  • Strong organizational skills and communication in a high-volume environment
  • Comfort working extensively with spreadsheets and data sets
  • Process improvement mindset and interest in automation/AI-enabled workflow improvements
  • High-volume support experience (ticketing preferred)
  • Demonstrated precision in repetitive operational work
  • Comfort with spreadsheets and datasets

Nice to have

  • Workday experience
  • Jira or similar ticketing system experience
  • Greenhouse experience
  • Prior People Ops / HR Ops background
  • Strong customer service orientation

Not a fit

  • Profiles that rely on rigid, fully defined processes and slow operating cadence
  • Candidates without meaningful startup or high-growth experience
  • Candidates who prefer low-volume, project-only work over daily operational throughput

Interview process

  • 30 min with Hiring Manager (Allison)
  • Two 30 min interviews with team members
