About The Position

We're looking for a People & Operations Generalist to help keep Simular running smoothly as we scale. You'll be the go-to person for our Palo Alto HQ - owning day-to-day operations, supporting our team through the full employee lifecycle, and keeping things organized behind the scenes.

• Bachelor's degree in Business, HR, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• You're organized, reliable, and comfortable owning things without a lot of hand-holding
• You have experience with payroll tools and HRIS systems
• You're good at juggling multiple priorities and keeping track of a lot of moving parts
• You're based in or willing to relocate to the Bay Area

Nice To Haves

• Experience at an early-stage startup
• Exposure to multi-jurisdiction employment compliance (US + international)

Responsibilities

• Own office management: facilities, supplies, vendor relationships, and making sure the space works well for the team
• Run payroll processing and coordinate with our external providers to make sure everyone gets paid accurately and on time
• Manage onboarding and offboarding end-to-end: equipment setup, account access, first-day logistics, and exit processes
• Maintain employee records, HR documentation, and compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions
• Support benefits administration and coordinate with insurance and payroll vendors
• Assist with recruiting coordination when needed: scheduling interviews, communicating with candidates, keeping pipelines organized
• Identify and improve operational workflows — if something is manual and repetitive, you'll want to fix it
