Job description

Overview

Overview

The HR Operations Coordinator supports the day-to-day operational functions of the Human Resources team by coordinating recurring HR processes, maintaining accurate employee and organizational data, handling compliance-related administration, supporting HR systems, ensuring data integrity, performing quality control reviews, and providing operational support to specialized HR functions as needed.

The HR Operations Coordinator is not expected to independently manage complex employee relations matters, interpret employment law, administer complex benefit or retirement plan requirements, or make HR policy decisions. However, the position is expected to develop a strong understanding of HR processes and systems, recognize when matters require escalation, and help identify opportunities to improve consistency, efficiency, and accuracy.

As the role develops, the HR Operations Coordinator may assume ownership of additional HR operational processes and participate more extensively in HR technology, reporting, process improvement, and compliance-support activities.
