• Answering an employee's benefits question or walking them through an equity vesting question
• Processing new hire paperwork (I-9s, onboarding logistics) and handling offboarding details with care

3-5+ years of experience in HR or People Ops, ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment.

The ability to speak fluently to a People team's mission and make it tangible in day-to-day work, not just on paper.
Exceptional attention to detail and real pride in precise, accurate work.
High ownership and follow-through: you take a challenge and run it to resolution.
