People Operations Specialist

About The Role

The role supports day-to-day People Operations for a growing technology company, handling onboarding, benefits administration, HR systems, and employee records.

This is a high-visibility support role: the team keeps the employee experience running smoothly, and the role is often the first point of contact for questions about policies, payroll, and benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate end-to-end onboarding: offer letters, background checks, I-9 verification, equipment setup, and first-week scheduling
• Administer HRIS data in systems like Rippling, BambooHR, or Gusto — keeping employee records, org charts, and reporting accurate
• Process benefits enrollment, changes, and open enrollment; serve as first responder for employee benefits and payroll questions
• Support performance review cycles and engagement surveys, including scheduling, reminders, and results compilation
• Maintain and improve HR documentation: policies, handbooks, onboarding guides, and internal wiki pages
• Assist with compliance tasks including EEO-1 reporting, workers' comp, and state tax registrations for new hires
• Plan team events, offsites, and recognition programs that support culture as the company scales
  
  

What We Are Looking For

• 1-2 years of experience in People Operations, HR administration, or people-team support, ideally at a startup or high-growth company
• Hands-on experience with at least one HRIS (Rippling, BambooHR, Gusto, or similar)
• Strong attention to detail with sensitive data — payroll, benefits, and personal information
• Excellent written communication; able to write clear policy docs and answer employee questions with empathy
• Comfortable juggling interrupt-driven work alongside longer projects
• Bachelor's degree in HR, business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Bonus: familiarity with equity administration (Carta), ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Ashby), or state-by-state employment compliance
