At the same time, you’ll collaborate across departments and help shape workflows that are efficient, audit-ready, and aligned with our deeply held values.

This is a high-impact role where your work directly supports our people and strengthens the foundation of our School community.

Drive HR Operations & Employee Lifecycle Support

• Maintain high-quality, audit-ready employee records across HR systems
• Support key lifecycle moments—hiring, compensation changes, contracts, and transitions
• Ensure employment documentation is timely, accurate, and aligned with organizational standards
• Communicate clearly with employees and managers to support a seamless HR experience
  
  

Ensure Compliance & Risk Management

• Partner with internal teams to proactively address risks and maintain standards
  
  

Enable Insight Through Data & Reporting

• Produce meaningful reports and dashboards that support leadership decision-making
• Maintain systems and communication workflows that keep the organization informed and compliant
  
  

Who You Are

• A builder of processes who enjoys improving how things work
• Exceptionally organized and able to manage multiple priorities with ease
• Calm, responsive, and solutions-oriented in a fast-paced environment
• A collaborative partner who works effectively across HR, Finance, and leadership
• Someone who values accuracy, but never loses sight of the people behind the data
  
  

Most importantly, you bring a mindset grounded in respect, integrity, and community aligned with the values that define Sidwell Friends.

• 5–7 years of experience in payroll, HR operations, or a combined role
• Strong hands-on payroll expertise (ADP Workforce Now preferred)
• Deep understanding of payroll compliance, reporting, and data integrity
