As an HR Specialist, you'll work with our U.S.-based HR team to support our clients' employee lifecycle — onboarding, payroll, benefits, compliance, and recordkeeping — for a portfolio of high-growth, U.S.-based startup clients. Reporting to an HR Generalist, you'll take on assigned tasks across these areas while keeping the team informed of progress, questions, and potential issues. This is a chance to build broad, hands-on U.S. HR expertise rather than specializing in just one function, working across a variety of systems, processes, and employment requirements along the way.
What you’ll gain in this role
- Broad HR exposure. Support multiple areas of HR rather than focusing on one process.
- Experience with U.S. HR operations. Gain exposure to multi-state requirements, PEO administration, COBRA, payroll registrations, and employee recordkeeping.
- Experience with multiple systems. Work across platforms such as Rippling, Justworks, Gusto, Deel, and ADP and support system implementations and transitions.
- A collaborative team environment. Partner closely with the HR Generalist and the wider U.S.-based HR team, with clear guidance and support along the way.
- Responsibility for follow-through. Take charge of assigned tasks, meet deadlines, maintain accurate records, and proactively flag progress, questions, or issues to the HR Generalist.

- Complete employment verifications and routine HR correspondence promptly and accurately.
- Keep employee files and records organized, accurate, and audit-ready at all times.
- Identify and escalate missing information, exceptions, or potential concerns early, before they become issues

Benefits and systems
