About The Position

MagicSchool is the premier generative AI platform for teachers. We're just over 2 years old, and more than 7 million teachers from all over the world have joined our platform. Join a top team at a fast growing company that is working towards real social impact. Make an account and try us out at our website and connect with our passionate community on our Wall of Love. You will own the infrastructure, systems, and data layer that keeps MagicSchool's People function running cleanly at scale - executing a Year 1 project portfolio (PEO transition, EOR setup, contingent workforce vendor, unified HR data architecture) while building the steady-state processes that make the employee experience reliable and the People team's work credible.

Requirements

HR Data Architecture Fluency: You think in terms of source-of-truth, data hygiene, and system integrations, and can build models, write formulas, and create reports people actually use.
Ownership-Oriented Execution: You build the playbook rather than wait for one — flagging blockers early, closing loops without being chased, and treating this as an ownership role rather than a support role.
5-8 years in HR operations, people operations, or related roles, with meaningful time spent on systems implementation and operational infrastructure.
Proven track record leading a PEO transition, HRIS implementation, or comparable infrastructure project.

Nice To Haves

Experience with EOR and/or contingent workforce management.

Responsibilities

Own HRIS, PEO, and Lattice end-to-end - configuration, vendor relationships, and system hygiene - and build the unified data layer connecting HRIS, payroll, and equity administration so headcount, comp, and employment data have a single source of truth leadership can use with confidence.
Design and maintain employee lifecycle workflows from onboarding through exit, owning the templates and documentation that make those processes scalable and reduce rework as the company grows.
Project-manage the transition off MagicSchool's current PEO (benefits, payroll continuity, vendor selection) and stand up a new contingent workforce vendor for contractor administration and compliance, owning both timelines end to end.
Own end-to-end IT provisioning/deprovisioning in partnership with IT, and manage the Employer of Record relationship for Canadian employees, ensuring legal and operational requirements are met throughout.
