Role Overview

As a Senior People Operations Specialist, you will play a key role in delivering thoughtful, scalable people programs and operational support across the employee lifecycle.

You’ll serve as a subject matter resource in areas of expertise while building breadth across the broader People Operations portfolio.

  • Hands-on experience supporting U.S. employment-based immigration, with working knowledge of common visa categories, immigration processes, and employment eligibility requirements
  • Strong understanding of employee lifecycle operations and HR practices, with experience owning processes from intake through resolution
  • Experience partnering with HRBPs, managers, and cross-functional People teams to solve employee and operational challenges
  • Experience with performance management, manager coaching, or employee relations is valuable; demonstrated ability to quickly develop expertise in new areas is equally important
