About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own the end-to-end onboarding process for every new hire, including post-offer communication, I-9 verification, system setup in Rippling and Deel, and leading the People Ops onboarding session.

  • Experience managing benefits programs and working with a PEO, including direct vendor management and employee-facing support.
  • A track record of building documented, repeatable processes that hold up as headcount grows.
  • The patience and clarity to field high volumes of employee questions, including ones that have a self-service answer.
  • (Plus) Experience building or deploying AI tools or self-service resources to handle common HR questions at scale.
  • (Plus) Prior experience in a high-growth startup environment where the People team was lean and the work moved fast.
