Employee Lifecycle Partner

Weights & Biases Weights & Biases · Data AI · Dallas, TX · People

This role is for an Employee Lifecycle Partner at an AI infrastructure company. The role focuses on end-to-end lifecycle operations, data integrity in Workday, employee inquiry handling, and process improvement. It involves partnering with Payroll, Legal, and Total Rewards, and contributing to operational readiness for expansion and federal contracts. The ideal candidate will have experience in People Operations, multi-state US employment law, Workday, and process improvement, with a preference for federal contractor experience and AI tool usage.

What you'd actually do

  1. End-to-end lifecycle operations across North America: onboarding, offboarding, job changes, transfers, and leave of absence administration across all US states (and Canadian provinces) in scope.
  2. Workday data integrity for the North America population - keeping records accurate and current, understanding how upstream quality shapes the experience downstream for employees, managers, and Payroll alike.
  3. Tier 1 and Tier 2 employee inquiry handling across the region - responding directly, escalating thoughtfully to PBPs or Legal, and making sure every question gets a genuinely useful resolution.
  4. Own the operational partnership with Payroll on lifecycle transactions that affect pay - clear handoffs, reliable deadlines, and a collaborative approach to working through anything that doesn’t add up.
  5. Identify where workflows create friction, where manual work has accumulated, and where smarter design or automation would create leverage - then build the improvement and ship it.
