• A natural comfort with technology - someone who picks up new tools quickly and can help the team work smarter

• Experience with or willingness to learn HRIS systems
• Strong communication skills and a professional, courteous approach in every interaction
• The ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment
• A knack for managing multiple tasks and priorities without losing the details

Nice To Haves

• Support new hire onboarding by preparing paperwork, coordinating logistics, and helping new employees get off to a strong start

• Maintain accurate employee personnel and benefit files - this role involves a meaningful amount of data entry, filing, and recordkeeping, and getting it right matters
• Support HRIS data entry, audits, and routine reporting to keep employee information accurate and up to date
• Provide support during annual benefits open enrollment, including communications, scheduling, and documentation
• Assist with benefits orientation for new hires and ensure enrollment records are complete and processed accurately
