• Work alongside external partners and internal stakeholders to assist with payroll administration across multiple states, as well as benefits, retirement plan support, equity-related coordination, and compensation planning activities.
• Support employee relations matters and help uphold HR policies, audit readiness, record retention practices, and broader compliance requirements in collaboration with legal and external advisors.
• Administer contingent workforce processes and track employment-based immigration matters, including filing coordination, case monitoring, and work authorization timelines for various visa categories and permanent residency cases.
• Monitor key compliance deadlines and follow through on required actions related to labor regulations, employee documentation, and authorization expirations across multiple jurisdictions.
• Contribute to onboarding and day-to-day HR administration by ensuring new team members receive timely support, accurate paperwork, and a smooth start to employment.
• Improve and refine HR systems, workflows, and operational processes to support efficiency, accuracy, and scalability as organizational needs expand.
• 2+ years of human resources experience, ideally within a technology startup or another fast-growing business environment.
• Background supporting people operations for an organization with 100+ employees across multiple states.
• Practical experience coordinating payroll, benefits administration, onboarding, and general HR operations with external providers or a PEO model.
• Familiarity with employee relations, HR compliance, records management, and policy-related administration.
• Experience tracking employment-based immigration cases and monitoring visa or work authorization deadlines in partnership with legal counsel.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain compensation, benefits, equity, and policy information clearly to employees.
• Highly organized and self-directed, with the ability to manage competing priorities carefully while maintaining discretion and accuracy.
• Proficiency with common workplace tools such as Google Workspace and Slack; experience with platforms like E-Verify, Insperity, Greenhouse, or comparable systems is preferred.
