From your first month you’ll have real ownership across onboarding, benefits, performance, employee relations, and HRIS, direct access to the people who make decisions, and genuine room to shape the evolution of People Operations here rather than merely executing on what’s in place already.We hire smart, tenacious people and give them the mentorship and opportunities they need to grow as team members and leaders. Our development process is built for remote teams and facilitates communication and trust. As a small company with big ambitions, we see and recognize the impact of every person on our team.We are team-oriented and want each other to be successful; we pull together to accomplish our goals. Glassdoor gives us a 4.2/5.0 and Inc. put us on its Best Places to Work Editor’s List in 2019.Who Are You?You’ve spent your career as the person people come to, not administering HR from a distance but owning outcomes, building processes, cultivating strong relationships, and anticipating unmet needs. You’ve likely done this on a small team, where you had the latitude to work out how things should be done rather than inheriting someone else’s playbook.You’ve worked in an environment where things move quickly and change is the norm. You've had to adapt to shifting conditions and strategies, where no two weeks look quite the same, and you’re energized by that variability rather than frustrated by it. When something falls outside the exact edges of your job description, you don’t wait to be asked before stepping in.You’re the person people trust with the things they don’t tell anyone else, and you bring that same steadiness to the conversations that matter most, whether that’s supporting a manager through a feedback discussion or following up with anyone in the company when something needs to move. You use AI and the latest tools to take the drudgery out of the administrative side, but you know that meaningful relationships are where this job creates value, and you’d never automate that away.What Success Looks LikeResponsive by default: employees know you’re their first call — routine requests like benefits questions, leave, and employment verifications get a same-day or next-business-day answer, and new hires consistently describe onboarding as warm, well-organized, and personally supported, even if remote.Compliance that just runs: our HITRUST/SOC 2 evidence, performance-review cycle, and access and role-change documentation stay current and audit-ready without a last-minute scramble.Trusted with the hard conversations: you’ve handled sensitive employee-relations situations — performance concerns, terminations, confidential complaints with the discretion and fairness that builds trust across the company.Ownership that leaves a mark: you’ve spotted a real gap yourself, in leveling, in how we run performance reviews in Rippling, in a benefits process and taken it from idea through to a finished, durable improvement without being asked.Known by the people you support: you’ve built genuine relationships across the company, and you measure your own success by whether people’s day-to-day experience improved.What You'll DoYou will own the end-to-end onboarding experience, from welcome communications and paperwork through training enrollment and orientation, so every new hire starts with the best possible chance of successYou will act as the first point of contact for employees on policy, procedure, leave, and time off, resolving most questions independently and coordinating with Finance and IT where neededYou will administer our benefits programs day to day, including enrollments, changes, and life events, and act as our liaison to the broker on COBRA, carrier coordination, plan questions, and billing issuesYou will own the performance review cycle, running the process, keeping it on track, and supporting managers through itYou will partner with managers on performant management, including performance improvement plans, related documentation, and coaching through feedback conversationsYou will own our HRIS and help us get more out of it by bringing new capability online and moving our performance review process fully into the systemYou will plan, coordinate, and help facilitate All Hands and Move Together meetings so people understand our strategy and how their work connects to itYou will run our engagement surveys, track eNPS, and propose actions based on what we learnYou will coordinate offboarding and conduct exit interviews, so we keep learning and improvingYou will keep our People records accurate and audit-ready, covering documentation for HITRUST and SOC 2, role and title changes, and employment verificationsYou will write policies and lead process improvement initiatives, including ones you identify yourself rather than waiting to be assignedYou will make the case for changes that benefit employees, in terms leadership can act onWhat skills and experience do we expect you to have?3+ years in an HR generalist or People Operations capacity, ideally (but not necessarily) at a software or SaaS companyDemonstrated ownership of an initiative end to end, such as a systems migration, a vendor selection and rollout, or a process you built from nothing.
