• Regularly audit workflows and permissions for optimization, and user experience and lead system integrations with other tools (payroll, ATS, benefits, IT) to streamline operations as we scale.

Data Analytics & People Insights
• Build and maintain dashboards and reports to track key people metrics — headcount, attrition, DEI, org structure, engagement trends, etc.
• Translate people data into compelling stories that support decision-making for leadership, finance, and department heads.
• Partner closely with Finance, Recruiting, and Engineering on workforce planning and data alignment.

Leadership
• Interact and serve as onsite HR Operations point of contact.
• Represent and participate in meetings, presentations, or conferences.
• Mentor and develop junior People team members — provide developmental feedback and training, and share expertise.

• Prior experience in benefits administration and flexible spending accounts, facilitating yearly renewals, and open enrollment.
• Prior experience in multi-state leave tracking and administration, unemployment claims, and accommodations process.
• Proven experience with modern HRIS platforms (Rippling, BambooHR, Workday, etc.), specifically building and optimizing workflows, and enabling appropriate permissions for access control.
• Strong spreadsheet skills (Excel / Sheets), and experience with BI / reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI).
• Comfort with data — cleaning it, analyzing it, and telling stories with it.
• High degree of discretion and integrity in handling sensitive data.
• Experience in a startup or high-growth company is a huge plus — especially in aerospace, hardware, or deep tech.
