About The Position

The People Operations Coordinator, Onboarding supports the operational foundation of Harvey's new hire experience, running the logistics, systems, and processes that make onboarding work end-to-end — from pre-arrival travel and scheduling through document collection, system processing, and in-person facilitation on day one. This is a hands-on coordination role that sits at the center of a fast-growing People team, partnering daily with the People Operations team and cross-functionally with People Systems, Recruiting, Benefits, Payroll, and Legal. The onboarding program is scaling quickly and still being built in places, so this person will both execute a high volume of moving pieces with precision and help improve the systems and materials as the program matures. Success in the role means every new hire's first experience with Harvey feels welcoming, organized, and seamless.

Requirements

1–3+ years in HR, People Operations, onboarding, event management, or a related operations or coordination role.
Experience with an HRIS (Workday strongly preferred); familiarity with onboarding workflows a plus.
High attention to detail and strong follow-through — you catch your own errors and close loops without being reminded.
Flexibility and composure in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment — you adjust quickly when priorities shift and manage multiple competing tasks without dropping the ball.
Strong communication and facilitation skills — you keep new hires informed, flag issues proactively, and can confidently own a room in front of a large cohort.
Comfort with global context: multi-country document requirements, regional compliance differences, and coordinating calendars across time zones.
