You will partner with employees and leaders to ensure a positive experience while supporting Second Sight's organizational goals. This role reports to the VP of HR. This role is a hands-on operational role that will own the recurring administrative and compliance work that keeps HR running.

Employee Lifecycle & Operations

• Coordinate onboarding and offboarding, including documentation, system setup, and separation paperwork; partner with managers, IT, and operations to ensure a smooth experience on both ends.
• Document, implement, and refine HR workflows, employee-facing processes, templates, and standard operating procedures.
• Track onboarding and offboarding metrics and recommend process improvements.
• Serve as the first point of contact for HR inquiries and provide guidance on policies, procedures, and employment practices.

• Develop and maintain HR policies and procedures.
• Serve as primary administrator of the HRIS, processing employee changes and maintaining employee records.
• Develop and maintain the HR compliance calendar.

Benefits, Leave & Payroll Coordination

• Support benefits enrollment, plan changes, and related employee education.
• Administer leave of absence (FMLA and state equivalents) and workplace accommodation requests (ADA) in partnership with external administrators, tracking cases across the states in which we operate.

HR Programs & Continuous Improvement

• Assist with the performance management cycle, compensation review process, and employee engagement initiatives (surveys, wellness, training) as the function scales.

What You'll Bring

• Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through on recurring administrative and compliance work. No task is too small, and things get done right without reminders or check-ins.
• Hands-on Paylocity experience is a strong plus.
• 6-8 years of progressive HR generalist experience, including prior ownership of HR operations without a large team to lean on, and a bachelor’s degree in HR, business, or a related field.
• Strong working knowledge of employment law, including FMLA and ADA, with familiarity with DC-specific requirements and the ability to navigate state law across our distributed, multi-state workforce.
• Familiarity with benefits programs (medical, leave, retirement) and hands-on benefits administration experience.
• Comfort operating with limited guidance in a fast-changing, entrepreneurial environment, with the initiative and project management skills to juggle competing priorities.
