People Operations Coordinator

Your Role:

As the People Operations Coordinator, you’ll support the daily operations of the People team—ensuring data accuracy, operational efficiency, and a welcoming employee experience across our organization. You’ll manage our ticketing system with care and precision, triaging employee inquiries and resolving issues with a service-first mindset.

This role is highly administrative and hands-on: you’ll maintain our HRIS, streamline workflows, and serve as a friendly front desk presence. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment, anticipate team needs, and contribute to a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do:

Ticketing & Employee Support

• Monitor and triage incoming tickets and employee questions through the People Ops ticketing system, making sure responses are timely, accurate, and helpful.
• Flag and escalate more complex issues to the right team members and follow up to make sure they’re resolved.
• Keep documentation and FAQs up to date so employees can easily find answers and support.

Administrative & HR Operations

• Provide day-to-day administrative support across the People team—things like scheduling meetings, managing documents, and entering data.
• Help maintain clean, accurate data in the HRIS and process employee changes as needed.
• Assist with employee lifecycle communications and updates.
• Jump in on People Ops projects and initiatives that improve how we work and support the team.
• Pitch in on other HR tasks as needed.

Front Desk & Office Support

• Be a welcoming presence at the front desk—greeting employees and visitors, handling deliveries and mail, and keeping the office organized.
• Help keep the breakroom stocked and tidy so it’s a space people enjoy.
• Support general office coordination tasks and help wherever needed.
• Take on other office support duties as they come up.

Starting Salary: $25/hr.

What Makes a Great Candidate:

• 2+ years of experience in Human Resources or administrative support
• Familiarity with HR principles and best practices
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a professional and approachable demeanor. 
• Excellent administrative, organizational, time management, attention to detail, and follow-through skills.  
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing needs.  
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).  
• Ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain discretion and confidentiality when handling sensitive employment information. 

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Bachelor’s degree 
• Experience with ADP Workforce Now or similar HRIS systems
