People & Talent Systems Specialist

About this role:

As a People & Talent Systems Specialist, you will be responsible for guiding clients through strategic tool selection and managing end-to-end implementations of integrated people and talent systems. You'll help founding teams through public companies identify the right tools at the right time, then execute seamless implementations that establish scalable foundations for growth. You'll manage 10-20 implementations per month across our core technology stack including Ashby, Rippling, Lattice, Leapsome, Gusto, Code Signal, Deel, Notion, and other productivity systems. Implementation timelines range from same-day turnarounds to 10-week strategic rollouts depending on client complexity and scope.

Role requirements:

High-Volume Project Management: You excel at managing multiple concurrent implementations with varying timelines and complexity levels. You can rapidly assess scope, prioritize urgent deliverables, and execute both quick-turn configurations and complex strategic rollouts without compromising quality.

Systems Architecture & Strategy: You understand the interconnected nature of ATS, HRIS, performance management, and productivity tools across all company stages - from pre-revenue startups to public companies. You can quickly assess organizational needs and recommend integrated solutions that scale appropriately.

Technical Proficiency & Speed: You're comfortable with complex SaaS ecosystems, data integrations, API configurations, and can execute rapid implementations without sacrificing thoroughness. Experience with ATS architecture, HRIS data models, and performance management systems is essential.

AI-Powered Efficiency: You leverage AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) to accelerate implementation planning, documentation, training materials, and troubleshooting. You see AI as a force multiplier for delivering exceptional client outcomes at scale.

Organizational Excellence: You use advanced project management tools (Notion, Asana) to maintain visibility across your entire portfolio. You're naturally organized and can seamlessly context-switch between client engagements without losing momentum.

Strategic Consultation: You guide clients beyond just implementation - helping them understand which tools to adopt when, how to sequence rollouts, and how to build people operations infrastructure that supports their specific growth stage and business model.

Change Management: You excel at helping organizations of all sizes adopt new systems while managing the human side of technology transitions, from 3-person founding teams to 10,000+ employee organizations.

You could be a great fit if:

⚡ You thrive in high-velocity environments. You can manage 10-20 simultaneous projects with varying urgency levels and deliver quality outcomes consistently.

🧠 You're AI-native. You actively use Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools to accelerate your work and see them as essential productivity multipliers.

📋 You're exceptionally organized. You use tools like Notion and Asana masterfully to maintain visibility and control across complex portfolios.

🏗️ You have broad implementation depth. You've worked with companies across different stages and understand how tool needs evolve from founding through IPO and beyond.

🎯 You're adaptable and resourceful. You can quickly pivot between a same-day startup implementation and a multi-month enterprise rollout.

🔧 You're technically versatile. You can configure complex workflows, troubleshoot integration issues, and optimize system performance across diverse organizational contexts.

📊 You're data-focused. You understand how to structure data across systems to enable meaningful analytics for companies at any stage.

🚀 You excel under pressure. You maintain quality standards even when managing tight deadlines and competing priorities.

You might not be a great fit if:

• You prefer managing fewer, longer-term projects rather than high-volume, varied implementations

• You're not comfortable using AI tools as core productivity enhancers

• You struggle with rapid context-switching between different clients and project types

• You prefer single-tool implementations rather than integrated system rollouts

• You need extensive structure and predictability rather than dynamic, fast-paced environments

• You're not naturally organized or need significant management oversight to stay on track

Our Philosophy:

We believe that the right tools, implemented efficiently, become the foundation for exceptional people practices at any scale. Our approach emphasizes:

• Speed with precision - delivering rapid implementations without sacrificing strategic thinking or quality

• AI-enhanced delivery - leveraging cutting-edge tools to accelerate every aspect of our work

• Scale-appropriate solutions - understanding that a 5-person startup and a 5,000-person company need different approaches

• Operational excellence - maintaining exceptional organization and communication across high-volume client engagements

We work with a small, highly skilled team that embraces AI and modern productivity tools. We compensate accordingly for exceptional organizational skills and high-output delivery.
