You will play a key role in shaping the employee experience from end to end, acting as the go-to person for both strategic projects and day-to-day people operations in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own onboarding end to end, from offer acceptance through the first 90 days, designing and refining the experience for new starters.
• Own offboarding end to end, ensuring departures are handled smoothly, consistently, and with the right documentation and follow-through.
• Partner closely with the People & Culture Manager daily across the full range of People & Culture (P&C) activities.
• Lead special projects as the function grows, building out new processes, tools, or programs as gaps are identified.
• Support core people operations, including people records, documentation, and PEO and benefits administration, with accuracy and confidentiality.
• Support Talent Acquisition as needed with scheduling, interview coordination, and keeping candidates moving through the process.
• Act as a reliable first point of contact for candidates, new starters, and the team on process and logistics questions.
• Handle sensitive candidate and employee information with discretion and good judgment.
• Identify process gaps, use judgment to flag and address them, and build simple, repeatable ways of working.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date systems, trackers, and paperwork for the P&C function.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong organization and coordination skills, with the ability to juggle many moving parts without dropping the details.
• Sharp attention to detail across scheduling, data entry, and documentation.
• Clear, friendly communication with candidates, new starters, and technical teams.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where processes are still being built.
• Good judgment and discretion handling confidential candidate and employee information.
• Confident with everyday tools like calendars, email, and spreadsheets.
• Quick to pick up an ATS or HRIS.
• A service mindset, taking pride in making other people’s work easier and their experience smoother.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize sensibly, and follow through without being chased.

Qualifications

Useful but not essential:

• Experience in a recruiting coordinator, HR coordinator, or people operations role.
• Familiarity with ATS platforms (e.g., Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever) or an HRIS or PEO system.
• Exposure to a scaling startup, scale-up, or deep-tech environment.
• Experience coordinating onboarding or interview logistics at volume.
• Training or certification in HR, recruiting coordination, or administration.
