• Provide People Operations Support:
  • Employee Inquiries: Respond promptly to employee questions and concerns, directing them to the appropriate resources as needed

• Strong verbal/written communication and interpersonal skills as well as strong customer service experience
• The ability to prioritize the employee experience
• Resiliency to work through challenges with optimism and adaptability
• Attention to detail and the ability to track multiple cohorts concurrently
