  • Experience working with ticketing systems such as Jira or equivalent platforms to manage employee requests and operational workflows.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, and Sheets), including strong analytical skills in Google Sheets.
  • Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain the highest level of discretion when handling sensitive and confidential employee information.
  • Proven ability to identify process improvement opportunities, simplify workflows, and leverage automation to improve operational efficiency and employee experience.
  • Strong organizational and operational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, proactively follow up on deliverables, and consistently produce high-quality work in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, with confidence facilitating live presentations and delivering an engaging onboarding experience for new hires.
  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with the ability to troubleshoot issues, evaluate options, and balance employee needs with broader business objectives.
  • Demonstrated ability to build strong cross-functional partnerships with teams such as Talent Acquisition, Tech, Security, Payroll, Benefits, and other business stakeholders.
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and proactively remove roadblocks while maintaining a high level of service.
  • Genuine interest in building a career in People Operations and growing alongside a scaling People Team.
