Job summary

Jump Trading Group in New York seeks a People Operations Coordinator to support the U.S. HR and Talent Development teams across onboarding, day-to-day operations, and early career initiatives.

You will partner with Recruiting, Legal, Compliance, and vendors to streamline processes, maintain accurate systems, and enhance the new hire experience from interns to new grads. This role requires initiative, attention to detail, and strong collaboration in a fast-paced, global environment.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of experience in talent development, program coordination, campus recruiting coordination, HR operations, or a related field.
• Exceptional attention to detail, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving abilities.
• Proven experience in process improvement and challenging existing workflows to drive operational efficiency.
• Ability to communicate and interact effectively across all management levels, functions and regions whilst maintaining discretion around confidential and sensitive matters.
• Ability to thrive independently in a fast-paced, complex environment while managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Self-starter with intellectual curiosity and resilience, who is reliable and willingness to manage ambiguity.
• Experience using AI tools for tasks like consolidating and analyzing data from multiple sources, creating visualizations, and building operational efficiencies.
• Prior experience with Workday or other major HRIS platforms is preferable, and prior experience working with early career or campus recruiting programs preferred.
• Healthy sense of humor and enthusiasm for working in a high-performing and global team.
• Reliable and predictable availability.

Responsibilities

• Split time between HR and Talent Development teams, supporting the operational needs of each while bringing the same rigor, attention to detail, and drive for continuous improvement to both.
• Find friction and automate it away. Proactively identify gaps, manual touchpoints and process inefficiencies, and use technology and AI to eliminate them.
• Keep information clean, current and accessible. Maintain meticulous data entry and reporting in Workday and internal tracking systems, build and analyze feedback surveys, and keep data organized.
• Build strong working relationships across People Operations and partner teams - Recruiting, Workplace Services, Tech Services and others - to execute seamlessly across both functions.
• Serve as the face of onboarding and the first People Operations point of contact for new hire questions. Continuously improve the new hire experience, (from interns to experienced hires), across every touchpoint: orientation, Workday, benefits enrollments, mentor introductions, education sessions, community events, and recognition moments.
• Own the administration and process coordination that keeps the HR team running - organizational changes, employment verifications, relocations, performance review cycles, and terminations.
• Act as the operational backbone of our early career and professional development programs. Manage end-to-end logistics for intern and new grad cohorts and New York leadership and development programs, including the speaker series, from pre-start coordination through offboarding, with responsibility for scheduling, participant communications, materials preparation, feedback collection, and performance evaluation processes.
• Other duties as assigned or needed.
