• Coach managers and employees through everyday people questions, such as feedback, expectations, and role changes.
• Keep employee records, HR systems, and compliance documentation clean and current.
• Build simple, repeatable processes where none exist yet, and improve the ones that do.
• Partner with the recruiting team on offers, start dates, promotions, and transitions.
• Look at each employee touchpoint the way we look at a customer touchpoint, and fix what falls short.

• Experience running onboarding and performance review cycles.
• Comfort coaching managers and employees, including on difficult conversations.
