The People Operations Specialist will manage onboarding, ensure compliance, streamline processes, and enhance employee experience while supporting the People team in a fast-paced environment.
The Role:
We’re looking for a detail-oriented, people-obsessed People Operations Specialist to help scale and elevate Curri’s People function. In this role, you’ll own onboarding, ensure compliance across states and benefits, administer our People systems (Rippling & Lattice), streamline processes, and help create a world-class employee experience. As Curri continues growing rapidly, this role will be essential in building the operational foundation of the People team. You’ll partner closely with the Director of People and collaborate with teams across the company to ensure that every employee—from pre-hire to offboarding—feels supported, welcomed, and empowered to do their best work. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves improving processes, and wants to directly impact culture, efficiency, and experience at scale.
What you will do:
- Own and manage Curri’s end-to-end onboarding program: pre-hire coordination, Rippling setup, orientation, cross-functional alignment, and first-week experience
- Maintain compliance across multi-state employment, benefits, required documentation, and audits
- Serve as system administrator for Rippling, ensuring data accuracy and optimizing workflows
- Identify opportunities to improve People processes, documentation, and efficiency as the company scales
- Support benefits administration, open enrollment, vendor communication, and employee education
- Assist with People data, reporting, and metrics for decision-making
- Partner with the Director of People to support employee engagement, culture initiatives, and continuous improvements
- Provide exceptional internal customer service to employees and managers
What you will need to have:
- 2–4 years of People Operations, HR Generalist, or HR Operations experience in a high-growth environment
- Hands-on experience running onboarding programs or managing employee lifecycle processes
- Familiarity with HRIS platforms (Rippling preferred) and people programs
- Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and process excellence
- Ability to operate autonomously and thrive in an evolving, fast-paced startup
- Clear communication skills and a high level of empathy
- A mindset that balances operational rigor with an excellent employee experience
What is in it for you?
- Direct ownership over foundational People programs during a high-growth phase
- Opportunity to shape processes, workflows, and employee experiences across the company
- A remote-friendly environment with a flexible schedule that emphasizes outcomes over process
- A supportive culture that believes work should be life-giving and meaningful
- Competitive salary, equity compensation grant, and comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401K
