    • Manage payroll processing through Justworks (PEO model) and ensure compliance with state tax requirements and employee benefits.
    • Support international team payments via Deel.
    • Assist in closing out old payroll accounts (e.g., Gusto).
    • Create and update employee handbooks and HR documentation using available tools.
  • Finance & Expense Management

    • Process bills, reimbursements, and accounts payable using Ramp.
    • Add new team members to Ramp and issue virtual/physical cards.
    • Set up and process wire transfers with accuracy and attention to detail.
    • Liaise with the accounting team to ensure accurate documentation flow.
  • Onboarding & People Ops

    • Coordinate new hire onboarding, scheduling, and documentation.
    • Support benefit enrollment processes and compliance requirements.
  • Recruitment Support

    • Assist with interview scheduling, pipeline tracking, and candidate management.

  • Employee Programs

    • Help administer Awardco (employee rewards & recognition platform).
    • Assist with new HR initiatives and systems implementation.

  • Engaging, proactive, and confident in asking questions or suggesting improvements.

  • Excellent time management and communication skills (Slack, Zoom, G-Suite).

Nice to Have
