About the role

What You’ll Do

HRIS Administration: Own data integrity, system configuration, and reporting across our HRIS. Lead the upcoming HRIS implementation (May/June) and ensure clean, accurate records going forward.

Onboarding & Offboarding: Run new hire onboarding end-to-end — documentation, systems access, and equipment — ensuring every hire is fully set up within 5 business days. Own the offboarding process with the same rigor.

Benefits & Leave: Administer health benefits, 401(k), and leave programs. Manage enrollment processes, answer employee questions, and maintain accurate tracking.

Compliance & Records: Maintain the compliance calendar, manage personnel files and employment records, and keep us ahead of federal and state regulatory requirements.

Payroll Support: Run bi-weekly contractor hour processing and support payroll workflows as needed.

Office & Culture Ops: Coordinate weekly team lunches, events, and onsites. Manage swag inventory and ordering. Own the employee milestone calendar — birthdays, work anniversaries, and other moments worth celebrating — and build out a lightweight gifting system. Serve as the point of contact for office vendors, facilities, and building management.

Process Improvement: Identify manual or repetitive workflows that could be automated or streamlined — and take initiative to improve them. We expect this, not just appreciate it.

Lattice & Performance: Support performance cycle administration, including 30/60/90 audits, Grow track management, and Lattice data hygiene.

Notion & Internal Resources: Keep the People Ops Notion workspace current, accurate, and useful. Build and maintain FAQs and process documentation as the team scales.

About You

Must have:

  • 2–4 years of HR/People Ops experience in a startup or high-growth environment
  • Hands-on HRIS experience — system administration, data integrity, and reporting (e.g., Rippling, BambooHR, Workday)

Nice to have:

  • Experience administering health benefits, 401(k), or managing open enrollment
  • Familiarity with federal and state employment law compliance and recordkeeping
  • Experience identifying and implementing process improvements or workflow automation
  • Experience coordinating office operations, team events, or employee engagement programs — vendor management, logistics, gifting, or onsite coordination

This role is not a fit if:

  • You have no prior HR/People Ops experience (general business admin does not qualify)
  • You've only worked at large enterprises or companies with 500+ employees
  • You don't actively use or have curiosity about AI tools

Details

  • Annual salary: $90,000-$110,000 + equity + benefits (including medical, dental, and vision)
  • Flexible PTO
  • Location: NYC (in-person 4 days a week, with 1 floating day)
