People Operations Coordinator (HR + Onboarding + Compliance)

Build the engine behind a great employee experience

We’re looking for a People Operations Coordinator who thrives on organization, precision, and making things run smoothly behind the scenes.

This is not a “sit back and observe” HR role.

You’ll be the operational backbone of the employee lifecycle — ensuring every hire, onboarding, training, and transition is executed flawlessly. If you love bringing order to chaos, tracking details others miss, and being the person everyone relies on to “make it happen”… you’ll do very well here.

?? What You’ll Own

You’ll sit at the center of People Ops, partnering with recruiting, leadership, IT, and employees to keep everything moving.

?? Hiring & Recruiting Support

• Coordinate interview scheduling and keep the hiring process on track

• Track candidate progress and maintain accurate records in HR systems

• Initiate and monitor background checks and pre-employment steps

• Ensure a smooth transition from candidate → new hire

?? Onboarding (First Impressions Matter)

• Own onboarding logistics from offer acceptance through day one

• Prepare documentation, system access, and required setup

• Coordinate across IT, security, and hiring managers

• Ensure all compliance requirements (I-9, E-Verify, etc.) are completed correctly

?? Employee Lifecycle Operations

• Support offboarding processes (documentation, access removal, equipment return)

• Maintain accurate employee records and ensure audit readiness

• Keep HR systems (like UKG or similar) clean, organized, and up to date

?? Training & Development Support

• Coordinate training schedules, assignments, and completion tracking

• Maintain training records and reporting

• Support internal development initiatives and programs

?? Employee Support & Internal Operations

• Serve as a go-to resource for employee questions

• Help manage internal communications and employee milestones

• Maintain internal HR resources, templates, and documentation

• Support internal portals and resource hubs

?? What You Bring

You’re the type of person who:

• Notices when something is off before anyone else does

• Loves checklists, systems, and making processes better

• Can juggle multiple priorities without dropping details

• Communicates clearly and follows through consistently

• Takes pride in getting things right, not just done

? Qualifications

Required:

• 2–4 years in HR coordination, recruiting coordination, or administrative operations

• Experience handling sensitive or confidential information

• Strong organization and attention to detail

• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred:

• Experience with HR systems (UKG, Workday, or similar)

• Familiarity with onboarding, compliance, or employee lifecycle processes

• Experience in structured or compliance-heavy environments (e.g., GovCon, ISO, etc.)

• Understanding of HR practices and employment regulations

?? Work Environment

• Remote (with occasional in-person collaboration as needed so must be located within the Greater Washington DC Metro)

?? Why This Role Matters

This role sits at the center of everything.

When this job is done well:

• New hires feel confident and excited on day one

• Hiring managers trust the process

• Nothing falls through the cracks

• The entire organization runs more smoothly

You won’t just support the business — you’ll enable it to scale.

?? Final Note

If you’re someone who:

• Loves structure, systems, and execution

• Wants to grow in People Operations

• And takes pride in being the person who keeps everything running

?? We want to hear from you.
