  • 5+ years of experience working in an HR or People Operations role through company growth and scaling.
  • Proficiency with Workday and advanced spreadsheet analysis (e.g. utilize apps scripts).
  • The ability to deconstruct business processes to their core components and identify root causes for gaps or inefficiencies.
  • Fantastic communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way.
  • Passion for enabling employee lifecycle moments that delight and building processes that scale; particularly using AI solutions.
  • Unwavering attention to detail, exceptional rigor, and a commitment to unparalleled excellence in your craft.
