People Operations Professional [Full Time]

The People Operations Professional plays a key role in creating a welcoming, organized, and compliant workplace while supporting core HR operations. This role owns the day-to-day management of shared spaces—especially the breakroom and front entry—ensuring a clean, well-run environment for employees.

In addition, this role provides administrative and coordination support to the HR team, contributing to the effective execution of people processes, employee experience initiatives, and compliance requirements.

This is a highly visible position that requires strong organization, attention to detail, and a service-oriented mindset, with a direct impact on employee experience, safety, and overall workplace effectiveness.

Hours: We are seeking someone Monday - Friday, typically 11:00AM - 7:30PM.

Core Responsibilities:

• Oversee daily breakroom operations, communal area cleanliness (GMP compliant), and employee food programs, including the end-to-end execution of the Weekly Family Meal and special events
• Manage supply inventory and establish PAR levels to minimize waste, while partnering with maintenance, sanitation, and operations teams to continuously improve the employee experience
• Serve as the primary point of contact for employees, guests, and vendors, managing front door operations and entry protocols to maintain a professional, secure, and welcoming environment
• Support facility operations by managing meeting room schedules and setups, tracking supplies, organizing workplace spaces, and escalating facilities issues as needed
• Provide comprehensive administrative support to the HR team by managing data entry, document preparation, and reporting while assisting with audits, compliance tracking, and payroll distribution
• Perform other duties as assigned

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

• Ability to sit, stand, and walk for extended periods while executing tasks with precision and speed

• Work is performed within a diverse and inclusive team setting. The role requires an "entrepreneurial spirit" with the ability to work effectively under minimal supervision
• As our bakery operates 365 days a year, this position requires a commitment to working a consistent schedule, including holidays and weekends, to support our year-round operations
• Constant use of computer-based applications (Google Workspace, YoDeck, internal databases) and virtual meeting platforms
