Job Summary:

The People function at Qualified Health is building the infrastructure to make working here easy and intuitive. We are seeking a versatile internal operations generalist to own the systems and programs that ensure every employee and contractor has a consistent, high-quality experience. This role will start as a 6 month contract, with the option to convert to employment to be considered after 3 months. 

This is a precision operations role for someone who loves to build the kind of resilient, simple People systems that run perfectly every time, even when things are moving quickly. Across programs like onboarding, offboarding, benefits, reviews, our tech stack, and cultural programs yet to be built for our growing team; you’ll articulate what success looks like, build a machine that gets us there, and measure results. This role is a People role, so EQ and culture are key, but it’s not a business partner role. Your programs will enable Qualified Health’s high performing team to achieve our ambitious goals in a sustainable way. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Continually improve our employee lifecycle infrastructure: onboarding, offboarding, internal mobility, and everything in between
  • Partner with Recruiting, Finance, IT, and functional leaders to align on handoffs and program dependencies; ensuring no employee falls through a gap.
  • Own the employee programs calendar and prioritization framework; ensuring that all our employee initiatives are doing what we intend them to, that they’re received well, and that they’re a good use of time at every step. 
  • Build and maintain our shared drives, operational playbooks, checklists, and tooling to keep everyone aligned and informed
  • Identify and manage vendors or platforms that support our growth and People programs; track service levels, and ensure Qualified Health is setting up our vendor partners for success. 
  • Own the smooth operation of a People tech stack (HRIS, ATS, etc) that meaningfully moves us forward— maximize our use of tools through integration, influence our definition of what we need, help us know when it’s time to make a change, and ensure a seamless transition when a new tool or system is needed. 
  • Serve as a steady, knowledgeable first point of contact as needed for employee questions. While you’re a friendly listener, and know how to solve problems, you’re always thinking about how to make things better for everyone, not one-off heroics. 

Qualifications:

  • Exposure to multiple companies’ internal operations in a highly accountable HR Ops, People Programs, or similarly hands-on, versatile function with high visibility. Ideally 5-8 years in high growth technology, or adjacent industries like consulting, private equity, etc.
  • Successful track record of from-scratch building programs as an individual contributor.
  • Effective project management skills: managing owners, stakeholders, plans, and dependencies with your eyes on the finish line. Your project plan is the map, not the destination.
  • Strong analytic and measurement skills: you use passively collected data to build strong health metrics for your work. Your numbers add up, and you share this information in a way that’s portable across different audiences including executive leadership.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity while building towards clarity. You’re a pro at the startup environment, you know what good looks like, but you meet people and processes where they are to improve them day by day.
  • Familiar with HRIS and other sensitive, data-heavy technology transitions. 
  • Strong track record in vendor management: selection, KPIs, troubleshooting, etc.
  • Able to work onsite in our Palo Alto office at least 3 days per week

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
