• Managing employee lifecycle updates within Inkitt’s HRIS, Rippling, ensuring accurate, timely employee data. You will utilize scripts and automation to reduce manual data entry across our HR platforms.
• Running surveys and supporting additional employee health and culture initiatives.
• Supporting compliance with employment and benefits regulations.
• Acting as the primary contact for employee questions about benefits, leave, and time off.

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of experience in a People Operations, Office Management, or similar role in a fast‑paced environment.
• Hands on experience managing an office or workplace operations, including vendors, supplies, facilities coordination, or on‑site event support.
• Strong multitasking, prioritization, and time management skills.
• Experience with HRIS platforms such as Rippling or similar tools.
• Comfort using Slack, Google Suite, Zoom, and managing Google hardware to support smooth day to day operations.
• Strong technical aptitude using AI tools for automation including practical experience using Google Apps Script to connect systems and automate repetitive workflows, familiarity with leveraging LLMs to increase efficiency in drafting communications, summarizing data, or building operational frameworks.
• A proactive, solutions‑oriented mindset with a passion for employee experience and creating a welcoming, well‑run office environment.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Bonus: Familiarity with HR compliance and employment regulations.

Who We Are Looking For

• Autonomous.
• Bring solutions instead of problems.
• Highly data driven.
• Quick to action.
