HR Operations Associate

Farther•Irving, TX

About The Position

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience. Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders. Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you. Farther's People team runs the infrastructure that keeps our corporate workforce moving. As our HR Operations Associate, you'll own the full corporate employee lifecycle — onboarding through offboarding — and be the engine behind the systems, workflows, and automation that make it all run. This is a role for someone who lives in the ops layer: you know how to make tools talk to each other, you see a manual process and immediately think about how to automate it, and you come in with ideas rather than waiting to be handed a project. You'll work closely with Finance, Talent, and leadership — and directly with Allison to level up how People Ops runs at Farther.
