Slip Robotics is a B2B Robotics-as-a-Service company deploying autonomous loading and unloading robots at warehouse and fulfillment sites across North America. Our customers include some of the largest shippers and 3PLs in the industry. We build the robots, we deploy them, and we keep them running - and we're scaling fast. We’re looking for a People Operations Partner to help build a great employee experience and support our next phase of growth at Slip Robotics. As a key member of our growing People team, you’ll be the first point of contact for employees and a trusted resource for managers, owning a broad range of HR responsibilities spanning the employee lifecycle. From onboarding and benefits to employee relations, payroll, and compliance, you’ll help ensure our people operations run smoothly while continuously identifying opportunities to make them better. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys both the operational and human sides of HR. You’ll need to be comfortable navigating sensitive situations, coaching managers, solving problems, and rolling up your sleeves to get things done. You’ll work directly with the VP of People, with opportunities to grow as the company scales.
Responsibilities:
- Support employees and managers: Serve as the first point of contact for HR questions and coach managers on performance, feedback, employee relations, and people practices.
- Own the employee lifecycle: Manage onboarding, offboarding, employee changes, HR documentation, and systems to ensure a seamless employee experience.
- Run core HR operations: Manage payroll administration, benefits, leaves of absence, workers’ compensation, and related processes.
- Support compliance: Maintain accurate employee records, administer HR policies, and help ensure compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations.
- Build culture and engagement: Support employee initiatives, team events, and the day-to-day in-office experience to foster a positive, connected workplace.
- Make things better: Identify opportunities to improve processes, strengthen manager support, and build scalable people programs as we grow.
- Pitch in where needed: Collaborate across teams and support additional activities and projects as needed, bringing a flexible, team-first approach to getting things done.
