• Perform administrative tasks in Workday (HRIS)

• Execute data entry and spreadsheet-heavy operational work with extremely high accuracy

• Provide employee-facing support (internal customer service)

• Support onboarding workflows and contractor onboarding/offboarding as you ramp

• Identify and implement process improvements, including automation opportunities using AI tools

• Take on additional operational projects based on team needs

• 2-5 years of professional experience

• East Coast based (or clearly aligned to East Coast screening constraint)

• Startup and/or high-growth environment experience strongly preferred

• Extreme attention to detail and ability to move quickly with high accuracy

• Strong organizational skills and communication in a high-volume environment

• Comfort working extensively with spreadsheets and data sets

Nice to have
