You independently own and execute People programs with precision, accuracy, and care, including regional initiatives and processes. You bring thoughtful analysis to complex challenges, maintain a high bar for compliance and quality, and are known for delivering reliable results on time. As a fully proficient People Operations professional, you are able to think strategically about how your work connects to broader team goals andcompany objectives.

What You Bring:

• Strong interpersonal skills, cultural awareness, and a passion for creating a positive employee experience.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and problem-solving abilities, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Experience across core HR disciplines, including payroll administration, benefits, leave management, employee relations, performance management, and total rewards.
• A high level of integrity, professionalism, and commitment to confidentiality and compliance.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner effectively across teams while advocating for employees.
• A hands-on, proactive approach with the ability to independently manage People programs and processes.
• Comfort with technology and AI tools, along with an interest in helping shape responsible AI use within HR.

What You'll Be Doing:

US Payroll Administration

• Own and administer non-exempt bi-weekly payroll and exempt semi-monthly payroll: validating timekeeping & overtime data, ensuring all salary changes, new hires, terminations, and adjustments are captured correctly before each submission deadline.
• Liaison with Sales Ops and Finance to validate and add commissions and expense reimbursements to applicable payrolls.
• Perform pre-submission audits each cycle; catch and resolve discrepancies before the PEO processes the payroll.
• Serve as the initial point of contact for employee payroll questions; escalating to internal or PEO resources to resolve issues with urgency and discretion.
• Maintain organized payroll entry records; ensure the audit trail is clean and complete.
• Stay current on changes to non-exempt and exempt classifications that affect payroll calculations; flag impacts to the People Ops leadership (tax filings and reporting are handled by the PEO).

People Operations Execution

• Own and execute People operations programs within your regional scope - including identifying inefficiencies and continuously improving processes.
• Maintain HRIS data integrity across employee records, org hierarchies, and position data; audit regularly and remediate errors proactively.
• Interpret and apply company policies and regional compliance requirements; flag unusual circumstances and propose solutions.
• Own all employee lifecycle transactions (new hires, transfers, promotions, leaves of absence, and offboarding) ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timeliness across all regions.
• Manage onboarding and offboarding logistics end-to-end: new hire communications, Day 1 checklists, swag procurement, system access, equipment retrieval, separation documentation, and PEO payroll and benefits offboarding.

Benefits & Employee Support

• Serve as the first point of contact for employee benefits questions; triage inquiries, connect employees to our PEO and carrier resources, and follow through until resolved.
• Coordinate qualifying life events and open enrollment activities in partnership with our PEO. You don't need to be a benefits expert, but you need to be a resourceful problem-solver.
• Manage leave of absence (FMLA, state-specific, and company leaves): track entitlements, coordinate leave-pay inputs with payroll, and liaise with vendors.

Compliance & Data Integrity

• Research and summarize pertinent facts needed to support HR compliance reviews; stay current on relevant federal, state, and local employment law changes.
• Maintain compliant employee files and documentation in accordance with regional regulatory requirements.
• Support annual compliance filings (EEO-1, ACA, state-specific) and ensure required employment postings are current across all locations.
• Actively identify and propose improvements to data governance standards and reporting processes.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with People Business Partners to ensure operational execution aligns with BP-led decisions on leveling, performance, and employee relations.
• Coordinate with IT on new hire access provisioning and system integrations; ensure IT is looped in on equipment handoffs at onboarding and offboarding (procurement and logistics are owned by IT).
• Lead or contribute to larger team projects that have a significant impact on the People team's goals, including leading small cross-functional workgroups.
• Ensure that People Operations goals are appropriately prioritized in cross-functional projects.

Requirements

What You'll Need:

• A minimum of 5 years of related HR experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years with a Master's degree.
• Hands-on payroll entry experience across multiple cycles and employee populations (exempt and non-exempt).

• Working knowledge of US wage-and-hour law.
• HRIS administration experience required (Workday, Rippling, BambooHR, or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of US employment law and HR best practices.
• Strong proficiency in Google Suite and exemplary skills in Microsoft Excel; comfort learning new technical systems quickly.
