Human Resources Generalist

About the role

The People team works closely with the business and strategically partners with our people to help everyone perform at their best. We believe effective People teams don't create processes simply for the sake of having them; they build scalable systems, guide leaders through complexity, and foster an environment where high-performing teams can succeed. We're looking for a People Generalist to join our team and support the company's day-to-day operations, which are essential to keeping our team running effectively. This is a hands-on role for someone who is detail-oriented, organized, eager to learn, and passionate about creating a positive employee experience. One day you may be supporting a new hire's onboarding or responding to a benefits question; the next you may be updating HRIS records or helping coordinate a company-wide People initiative. You'll be a trusted resource for employees and managers on everyday People-related questions, ensuring our core HR processes are accurate and completed on time while gaining experience across the broader People function. This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, detail-oriented, and motivated to develop a strong foundation across HR, while using technology and AI to streamline and enhance processes and improve the day-to-day experience for managers and employees.

• Consistently identify opportunities to enhance People Team processes, infrastructure, and policies, and assist with implementing solutions using technology and AI.
• Work closely with managers and employees to strengthen workplace relationships, improve morale, and support productivity and retention.
• Step in wherever support is needed. We're a small, dedicated, collaborative team that values ownership and impact more than titles.
