• Support operational purchasing, payment processing, vendor documentation, and credit card reconciliation as assigned.

Employee Onboarding, Offboarding & HRIS Support

• Coordinate administrative aspects of employee onboarding and offboarding in partnership with the Executive Director, supervisors, HR consultant, IT, and other appropriate staff.
• Maintain onboarding and offboarding checklists and coordinate required documents, orientation logistics, equipment, keys, technology access, system setup, and return of organizational property.
• Provide routine employee and supervisor support with Rippling, including assigned workflows, basic system navigation, routine employee information updates, and administrative follow-up.
