People & Culture Coordinator

About the role

You will be the heartbeat of the employee experience at Calyx - the person who makes this an amazing place to work and makes sure everyone outside the building knows it. You will own our culture calendar, our employer brand, our candidate and new-hire experience, and the office itself, while running the day-to-day people operations that keep a 60-person company humming. You report directly to the President.

Responsibilities

• Culture and team events. Plan and run the events, rituals, celebrations, and recognition programs that make people proud to work here - on a real budget, executed with real creativity.
• Employer brand. Make Calyx a magnet: careers page content, LinkedIn presence, milestone stories, and a candidate experience people mention in interviews elsewhere.
• The office itself. Own the space: supplies, snacks, vendors, and the ongoing buildout that turns our HQ into a place that impresses candidates and energizes the team.
• Recruiting coordination. Run the hiring engine: post roles, screen resumes, schedule interviews, keep candidates warm, and make every applicant feel respected, fast.
• Onboarding. Deliver a first week people tell their friends about - equipment ready, plan written, standards clear from day one.
• AI-productivity champion. Organize trainings, share wins, and spotlight the people leveling up with AI so the whole company sees the transition as the opportunity it is.
• People operations. Keep employee records, Gusto data, and the org chart clean and current; support benefits enrollment and answer day-to-day questions.
• Performance cadence. Run the calendar and tracking for reviews and check-ins so no conversation gets skipped and no paperwork goes missing.
• Offboarding logistics. Handle exits with respect and precision - equipment, access, exit interviews, and clean files.

Requirements

• 1-3 years of experience in people operations, recruiting coordination, office management, events, hospitality, or a similar role where organization and people skills were the job.
• Demonstrated daily fluency with AI tools, or a portfolio of things you have built, written, or organized with them.
• Strong writing - you will produce job posts, announcements, and employer-brand content weekly.
• Experience with Gusto or any HRIS is a plus. So is having planned events on a budget.
• A degree is not required. Judgment, energy, and follow-through are.
