About The Position

At Quantum Workplace, we believe the employee experience does not happen by accident. It is built through strong systems, thoughtful processes, and meaningful interactions that help people feel supported and confident at work. We are looking for a People Operations Specialist to power the operational engine behind our Employee Success team while serving as a trusted, accessible resource for employees and managers across the organization. This role is ideal for someone who loves structure, thrives on precision, and also enjoys being the go-to person others rely on for clarity and support. You will own the technology, data, and workflows that support our people every day, and you will engage directly with employees and leaders to answer questions, solve problems, and guide them through key moments in their journey. If you enjoy improving processes, leveraging AI and automation to work smarter, and building trust through responsive, people-first support, this role is for you.

Requirements

You bring about 2 to 3 years of experience in HR, People Operations, HRIS administration, or something closely related.
You’ve worked hands on in an HRIS (we use Paylocity) and have supported benefits administration, not just observed it.
You enjoy improving processes and have used reporting tools or AI to make work more efficient and less manual. We regularly use Zapier, Slack, ChatGPT, and Copilot.
You’re comfortable in Excel and don’t shy away from data, dashboards, or digging into details.
You’re based in the Omaha area and able to work from our office 2 to 3 days per week.
You’re known for follow through. If you say you’ll handle something, it gets handled.
You communicate clearly and can adjust your style depending on who you’re talking to.
You genuinely like helping people and bringing clarity to moments that can otherwise feel confusing or overwhelming.
