How you will make an impact

We’re looking for a HR Technology & Operations Lead to build and scale the backbone of our People & Culture function. This role owns the systems, processes, and data that power the employee lifecycle, ensuring our HR infrastructure is accurate, efficient, and built to scale. This role is foundational to how our People function operates and scales.

We’re looking for someone who brings structure to complexity, is systems-minded and comfortable with data, and understanding how processes work in practice for people.

You’ll lead our HR technology strategy (including Rippling, Greenhouse,etc.), build and evolve HR operations, compliance, and analytics, and oversee payroll and benefits through a team member. This is a hands-on role with broad scope and visibility, blending strategy and execution to build scalable systems, strong processes, and enable us to better use our people data to inform decisions.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead the migration and integration of historical and current data across systems, helping create a single, reliable source of truth
  • Identify gaps or inefficiencies in how we operate, and design practical solutions that improve both accuracy and employee experience
  • Own and strengthen our approach to HR compliance, ensuring our processes and systems meet legal requirements and are audit-ready
  • Oversee payroll and benefits through a dedicated team member, supporting their growth and development while ensuring these programs run smoothly and effectively
  • Partner closely with People, Finance, IT, and business leaders to connect systems, improve workflows, and support company growth
  • Balance long-term thinking with day-to-day execution, stepping in wherever needed to move work forward
  • Provide structure, prioritization, and support across the broader HR operations space, even when work is distributed

Who you are

  • 5-7+ years of experience in HR operations, HR systems (HRIS), or people operations roles, ideally in a scaling or fast-moving environment
  • Strong experience with HR technology (e.g., Rippling, Greenhouse), including implementation, integrations, and building the operational infrastructure that supports them
  • Comfortable owning both strategy and execution—you like building things and getting into the details
  • Experience creating or improving HR processes and systems that scale, with ownership from design through execution
  • Strong understanding of HR data, with the ability to turn it into clear, useful insights
  • Familiarity with HR compliance and US employment law as it relates to HR operations
  • Experience working with or overseeing payroll and benefits
  • Experience with compensation programs and related data (e.g., benchmarking, salary reviews) is a plus
  • High attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership over accuracy, quality, and data integrity across tools and processes
  • Practical and solutions-oriented, with the ability to simplify complex problems

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
