About Genius AI

Genius AI powers the self-running business—one that works, earns, and grows while practitioners do what they do best: care for the client in front of them.

About the role

Genius AI's People and Talent function has grown into a real operation, and the most important work ahead isn't running existing programs — it's building the ones that don't exist yet. This role owns the projects that sit between the seams: comp frameworks that need a first draft, an onboarding experience that still has rough edges, a data story that hasn't been told clearly yet, a recognition program that lives in a doc somewhere.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of progressive HR and People Operations experience, with demonstrated breadth across at least two or three of the following: compensation, HRIS and systems, people analytics, onboarding, or employee experience
  • Proven experience building workflows using AI in a People or HR context, identifying repeatable work, automating it, and redirecting capacity toward higher-judgment problems
  • Moves without waiting for a perfect brief or complete dataset, forming a hypothesis, building a draft, getting feedback, and iterating rather than waiting for full clarity before starting
  • Strong foundations as an HR generalist, knowing the craft well enough to spot what's broken, ask the right questions, and separate real problems from noise
  • Analytically sharp, with expert-level Excel or Google Sheets skills and deep fluency with HRIS and BI tools
  • High judgment about what to escalate and what to just solve, with a track record of handling complexity independently without pulling in more stakeholders than necessary

This role owns the projects that sit between the seams: comp frameworks that need a first draft, an onboarding experience that still has rough edges, a data story that hasn't been told clearly yet, a recognition program that lives in a doc somewhere. You'll figure out what done should look like, build it, and hand it off or keep running it depending on what's right. The scope spans the full People and Talent function, including compensation, HR systems, data and reporting, AI enablement, and employee...
