You'll work closely with Finance, Recruiting, and leadership, with the opportunity to take on broader People responsibilities as the company grows.

Manage day-to-day HR administration through Rippling, including employee records, benefits, payroll coordination, and employee changes.

Coordinate onboarding and offboarding, ensuring a smooth experience from offer acceptance through departure.

Maintain employee documentation, internal policies, and HR workflows.

Serve as the first point of contact for employee questions related to benefits, policies, and People processes.

Coordinate with Finance, Recruiting, and external partners on operational HR needs.

Workplace & Employee Experience

Help manage day-to-day operations and employee experience at our NYC office.

Coordinate employee events, team gatherings, and company activities.
