THE ROLE

We are hiring at a rapid rate, and every one of our new hires deserves a great new hire experience from the moment they sign their offer letter through their entire onboarding journey. As our People Operations Coordinator, you'll own the tactical side of onboarding: collecting and tracking the completion of required documentation, greeting new hires, assisting in running sessions, and keeping the operations of onboarding on track as we grow.

  • Partner with IT and Workplace so new hires have the right access, equipment, and desk waiting on day one

  • Manage the logistics behind our onboarding platform and manage the day-to-day vendor relationship

  • Support more moments in the employee lifecycle as the role evolves, from job changes to location moves and more

  • Bring ideas for making the day-to-day run smoother, from automating a task to fixing a clunky step

  • Handle sensitive employee information with discretion

REQUIREMENTS

  • 2-4 years in a high-volume coordination or operations role - People function preferred

  • Extremely organized and detail-oriented, with a tactical, get it done approach, where tasks don't get dropped on your watch

  • Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity

  • Extremely clear written communicator

NICE TO HAVE

  • Strong spreadsheet skills, including comfort working with formulas and organizing complex data.

  • Experience at a fast-growing startup

BENEFITS

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity

  • (U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents

  • Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
