This role suits someone who is already using AI and automation in their day-to-day HR work and wants to apply it at a larger scale.

 * Design, build, and roll out improved processes and AI-supported tools across the HR function

 * Assist with open enrollment, benefits administration, leave tracking, and HRIS data accuracy
 * Support performance management cycles and coach managers
 * Build manager toolkits and playbooks
 * Maintain and improve HR policies, documentation, and standard operating procedures
 * Mentor and guide HR associates and coordinators
 * Support employee engagement programs and assist with light recruiting
