People Operations Generalist

Role Overview

The People Operations Generalist is a critical player on Carnegie’s People Success team, owning the day-to-day execution of the employee lifecycle with precision and care. This role keeps the operational engine running: managing benefits administration, compensation data, leave, compliance, and reporting.

What You Will Do

You’ll work closely with Carnegie’s PEO (Insperity), bridging the gap between employee needs and external systems with accuracy and a high-touch approach. This role involves employee lifecycle administration, leave and claims management, compensation and total rewards, performance and engagement support, and compliance, reporting, and data integrity.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This is a role for someone who finds genuine satisfaction in doing the operational work well — and who understands that behind every clean process is an employee who feels supported at an important moment.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of benefits administration, compensation analysis, or HR operations experience

• Experience working within a PEO model or in close collaboration with a payroll or finance team
• Experience administering an enterprise HRIS (Workday strongly preferred)
• Solid working knowledge of federal and state employment law
• High degree of confidentiality and professional judgment
• Clear, reliable communicator who collaborates effectively across People, Payroll, and Finance in a remote-first environment
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; SHRM, CBP, or CCP credential would be a differentiator

Benefits

• Competitive salary range of $70,000 – $80,000
• Your offer will reflect the experience, skills, and qualifications you bring
