Cast & Crew is hiring an Associate HRBP to sit at the intersection of HR operations and business partnership to keep the engine of our People & Culture function running smoothly. This role is built for someone who wants real breadth: You'll own the details that make the employee experience run while also developing the business partnership skills that define a long-term HR career.

You’ll report to the VP of People Experience and partner cross functionally to keep our processes and programs consistent, compliant, and built to scale. This is a hands‑on role for someone who wants to lean into varying HR bodies of work, not just process transactions in it.

What you’ll do

• Support HRBP and L&D on performance cycles, engagement surveys, and other People programs
• Bring creativity to employee engagement: help plan culture moments, recognition programs, and initiatives that make Cast & Crew a great place to work, and partner with our ERGs to support their programming
• Own day‑to‑day employee lifecycle components: onboarding, offboarding, support people programs and employee data changes (title, pay, department, manager)
• Maintain employee data integrity in Workday; build and run reports that HR leadership and other departments rely on
• Partner with Payroll and Finance to make sure compensation changes and benefit deductions flow through accurately
• Partner with Legal to draft employment letters, policy documents, and onboarding materials, and manage e‑signature workflows
• Act as a go‑to resource for employees related to HR policy, programs and process questions
• Audit HR practices to remain compliant with federal, California, and local employment law, and maintain accurate records
• Document and automate HR workflows so processes scale as the company grows
• Exit interview facilitation

What you bring

• 2-3 years in HR, People Operations, or HR Administration
• Direct experience in Workday (or a comparable HRIS like Rippling or BambooHR), comfortable navigating the system independently and building reports and workflow automation
• AI Fluency: Familiarity with AI tools (such as Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) and a willingness to integrate them into HR workflows to improve efficiency and support data driven decision‑making.
• Experience with onboarding, payroll coordination and HR documentation processes
• A genuine interest in process improvement and automation
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple workstreams without losing accuracy
• Sound judgment handling confidential employee information
• Comfortable working in ambiguity when a process is still being built, and taking initiative to help build it
• Clear, professional communication with employees and managers alike

Nice to have

• PHR, SHRM-CP, or California HR certification
• Experience in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment
