• Own administration and continuous improvement of employee benefits, 401(k), equity, lifestyle perks, and other total rewards programs.
• Lead annual open enrollment and benefits initiatives, including vendor management, employee communications, system configuration, audits, and identifying creative ways to enhance benefit offerings.
• Lead the end-to-end selection and implementation of a new HRIS and payroll vendor, from requirements gathering and vendor selection through configuration, integrations, data migration, auditing, testing, launch, go-live, and optimization.
• Own and optimize the People team's HR technology ecosystem, including HRIS/payroll, Lattice, EasyLlama, Notion, and other HR tools and systems.
• Develop, streamline, and automate scalable HR processes, workflows, methodologies, templates, and toolkits that improve operational efficiency and the employee experience.
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting across headcount, turnover, hiring, compensation, payroll, benefits, performance, compliance, and workforce planning. Identify business insights, risks, and opportunities and provide actionable recommendations to senior leadership.
• Lead cross-functional HR projects from planning through execution, establishing clear milestones, ownership, timelines, documentation, and measurable outcomes.
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees and managers, providing timely HR support, guidance on policies and procedures, and effective resolution of HR Operations issues.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of progressive HR management and leadership experience, with direct ownership and accountability for HR Operations, programs, systems, processes, and cross-functional initiatives.
• Strong hands-on experience managing full-cycle payroll for salaried and hourly employees, including timecards, audits, reconciliations, deductions, and issue resolution.

• Clarity: We get concrete and create clarity through focused thinking, direct communication, and decisive action so great teams can move fast.
• Craftsmanship: We believe excellence and innovation are habits.
• Commitment: We are relentlessly committed to winning together the right way.
