Job description

About EliseAI

At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be. By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.

We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place. We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services.

About the role

We're seeking a People Operations Coordinator with a strong focus on onboarding and new hire experience. At the core of this role is the ability to run a high-volume, end-to-end onboarding process with precision and care, ensuring every new hire feels prepared, welcomed, and set up for success from day one. This role also supports the broader day-to-day operations of our People function in a high-growth environment, making it a great fit for someone looking to build a well-rounded foundation in HR operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and distribute onboarding materials including employee handbooks and policy documents
• Own the updating and management of new hire training materials and live sessions, both in the LMS and in person, in coordination with cross-functional teams
• Collaborate with IT to ensure new hires have system access set up, and conduct laptop setup sessions with new employees
• Continuously look for ways to improve the onboarding experience and streamline processes for scale

HR systems and administration

• Manage transactions in our HRIS, including adding new hire profiles, processing status changes, and handling off boarding
• Maintain accurate employee and company records, including personnel files and org charts

Employee relations and manager support

• Serve as a reliable first point of contact for employee questions related to HR policies, benefits, and general people operations
• Support managers with people-related processes including performance review cycles, promotion documentation, and role changes
• Help coordinate and track performance management cycles, ensuring timelines are communicated and followed across the organization
• Assist with sensitive employee situations with professionalism and a high degree of discretion

Employee experience and culture

• Manage company swag inventory and coordinate distribution for new hires, birthdays, work anniversaries, and other employee engagement moments
• Coordinate employee recognition efforts including anniversary and birthday gift-giving programs
• Help plan and execute in-office culture programming and company social events
• Assist teams and managers with ad-hoc requests, including coordinating team-specific events and off-sites
• Contribute to fostering a strong, positive company culture through employee engagement initiatives and other internal programs

Cross-functional and project support

• Support HR-related projects spanning administration, compliance, employee experience, and organizational culture
• Partner with Finance, Legal, and other teams on cross-functional people initiatives such as headcount planning, policy updates, and compliance reporting
• Assist with building and documenting scalable HR processes as the company grows
• Take on stretch projects and ad-hoc assignments across the people function as business needs evolve
