- Support benefits administration, including employee questions, qualifying life events, and occasional coordination with vendors.
- Conduct periodic audits of employee data, documentation, and People processes to identify gaps or inconsistencies.
- Help ensure People practices remain compliant with applicable employment requirements and internal policies.
- Recommend practical process improvements that reduce manual work, improve controls, and create a better employee experience.
- Support cross-functional People projects and contribute to evolving the People Operations function as the organization grows.
