About The Position

First Resonance is looking for a People & Culture Coordinator to be the operational heartbeat of our El Segundo headquarters. We are at a pivotal stage where our culture is our greatest asset. This role isn't just about processing paperwork; it’s about architecting the employee experience. You will be the first face a new hire sees, the creative mind behind our monthly and quarterly events, and the primary "owner" of our physical office space. If you are a high-energy "doer" who loves building community and keeping systems organized, you’ll fit right in.

Experience: 2+ years of experience in People Ops, Office Management, or a high-level Administrative role.
California HR Literacy: Basic understanding of CA labor laws and workplace compliance.
Organizational Prowess: Ability to juggle event planning for 50+ people while simultaneously managing office inventory and HR systems.
Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can draft a professional policy update and a fun Slack announcement with equal ease.
Physical Presence: This is an in-office role based in El Segundo to ensure our physical workspace and culture remain vibrant.

Nice To Haves

Startup Veteran: Previous experience in a high-growth tech or manufacturing startup environment.
The "South Bay" Expert: Deep local knowledge of El Segundo and the surrounding area for sourcing the best event venues and catering.
Tech Savvy: Familiarity with modern HRIS platforms (e.g., Rippling, Gusto), Slack, and project management tools (e.g., Notion, Asana).
Hospitality Mindset: A background in hospitality or event planning is a huge plus—you know how to make people feel welcome and included.

Responsibilities

Employee Lifecycle Management: Own the end-to-end onboarding process (from hardware setup to first-week orientations) and manage professional, empathetic offboarding.
Culture Architecture: Lead the "Fun Committee" by planning one small monthly event (e.g., South Bay happy hours, catered lunches) and one major quarterly offsite.
Office Operations: Manage the daily upkeep of our El Segundo office, including vendor relations (landlord, janitorial, maintenance), kitchen inventory, and supply procurement.
HR Administration: Maintain accurate employee records, assist with basic benefits inquiries, and ensure all internal documentation is up to date.
Internal Communications: Act as the internal "hype-person" by managing company-wide announcements regarding birthdays, anniversaries, and cultural milestones.
Guest Experience: Serve as the primary point of contact for visitors, partners, and candidates, ensuring they experience the best of First Resonance from the moment they walk in.
