The People Operations Coordinator is an essential support role focused on the operational backbone of GumGum’s Talent Acquisition team. While this role sits within the broader People Operations function, its primary remit is to support the recruiting lifecycle—from the moment a job is created to the day a new hire joins.
You will manage the administration of our hiring systems (Greenhouse), onboard new candidates into our HRIS (ChartHop) and Payroll (ADP) systems, coordinate compliance checks, and ensure a seamless pre-boarding and onboarding experience for all new LA-based team members.
This is an excellent entry-level opportunity, ideal for a motivated individual looking to launch their career in People Operations and Talent Acquisition.
Note: GumGum fosters a flexible work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work either in-office or remotely/from home. However, for occasional in-person collaboration, we kindly ask that this position be located within a ‘commutable’ distance to our office.
