Position Overview 

We are looking for a People Operations Market Partner to work closely with the Leaders in People Operations to support and execute the company’s human resources function across assigned markets. The goal is to ensure People Operations programs, onboarding, employee support, compliance, and engagement initiatives run smoothly and efficiently to deliver maximum value to our Managers, Team Members, and the organization.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

What You’ll Do:

As the People Operations Market Partner, you will serve as a key point of contact for market-level HR needs, delivering operational support across onboarding, benefits, employee documentation, and team member experience initiatives.

 

___________________________________________________________________________________________

What Success Looks Like:

• Onboarding runs smoothly across all assigned markets — new hires are set up, compliant (I-9), and productive from day one
• People Assist and HR inbox inquiries are resolved within 24 hours, with high satisfaction from Managers and Team Members
• Employee files are accurate, complete, and audit-ready at all times
• Benefits and 401(k) support is proactive, not reactive — team members get clear answers before issues escalate
• Unemployment claims, Workers' Comp, and compliance requests are handled accurately and on time
• Market Leaders see this role as a trusted, responsive HR partner — not a bottleneck
• Engagement touches (birthdays, anniversaries, recognition) land consistently and on schedule
• Onboarding audit error rates stay low and continue to improve

___________________________________________________________________________________________

About You: 

• Service-oriented — you lead with a servant-leader mindset and genuinely enjoy supporting people
• Highly organized — you juggle onboarding, compliance, benefits, and employee inquiries across multiple markets without dropping details
• Reliable and accountable — you deliver on commitments (like 24-hour response times) without needing reminders
• Detail-driven — you understand that accurate employee files and compliant documentation aren't optional
• A clear communicator — you can explain benefits, policies, and processes in a way team members actually understand
• Comfortable with variety — you move easily between onboarding calls, data entry, claims coordination, and event planning in the same day
• Discreet and trustworthy — you handle sensitive employee information with judgment and confidentiality
• Proactive — you spot issues (a missing document, an upcoming 401(k) deadline) before they become problems
• Able to work independently — you take ownership of projects and follow through with minimal oversight
