People Operations Coordinator

Harvey Harvey · AI Frontier · Chicago, IL · Human Resources

What you'd actually do

  2. Administer employee lifecycle transactions in Workday across the full arc of employment — new hires, changes, and departures — with precision and an understanding of what gets affected
  3. Manage the operational mechanics of contractor engagement and employee exits, coordinating across internal teams and external stakeholders from initiation to close
  4. Serve as a first point of contact for employee HR questions, triaging and resolving requests with consistency and speed
  5. Maintain internal HR documentation and resources that help employees across regions navigate processes and find what they need
