What you'll do- Process ownership: Own the design and continuous improvement of employee lifecycle processes (onboarding, offboarding, data changes) end to end. Surface the real problems, such as workarounds, undocumented exceptions, gaps between teams, then design the fix and drive it all the way through. Drive successful enablement and adoption of processes across teams.
- Project leadership: Lead process improvement projects from problem statement through to launch. Build the plan, coordinate across teams, manage through ambiguity, and execute quickly and with quality.
- Efficiency & reallocation: Identify where work should live, and make the shift happen. Partner with technical teams to scope automation opportunities and move them from idea to implementation.
- Compliance & audits: Monitor compliance across People Operations: I-9, BGC/FCRA, employee data integrity. Build the controls, regularly audit what's important, and proactively mitigate risks before they become an issue.
- Tools & enablement: Manage and troubleshoot People team tools (e.g., Background check tools, I-9, Workday). Keep SOPs current so the team can execute without escalating.
What we're looking for- Has 2-5 years in People / HR Operations, Program Management, QA, or Compliance, in roles that required building structure, tracking accuracy, and making things run reliably.
- Has taken broken, manual processes and rebuilt them end to end - redesign, execution, and adoption.
- Proactively analyzes data to surface compliance gaps and trends and uses findings to execute on improvement opportunities.
- Spots problems before they're raised and shows up with a proposed fix, not just an observation.
- Picks up new tools quickly and uses them to make work more reliable, not just faster.
- Works comfortably across Shared Services, HRIS, Legal, Recruiting, Payroll, and HR Business Partners, building alignment and scalable processes across teams.
- Moves quickly without introducing risk or sacrificing quality.
Strong candidates may also have- Proficiency in HR tools like Workday, FirstAdvantage, and background check platforms.
- Familiarity with I-9 regulations, FCRA, or SOC 2 compliance.
- Experience deploying AI or automation to improve operational workflows.
