## About the role

In one sentence: build, ship and administer People workflows, systems and solutions that make Lightning run better. This is the core of the role. Own day-to-day People Operations administration across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, employee changes, HRIS updates, documentation, and employee data management.

## What they're looking for

- A demonstrated People Operations specialist with strong product instincts and real experience building secure automated solutions for historically manual tasks:
- Experience with people data, business systems, analytics platforms, or enterprise data infrastructure (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, SQL, Excel)
- Deep familiarity with HRIS and / or ATS platforms (Rippling, Greenhouse, Ashby, or similar), as a builder or through close partnership with People teams
- Experience designing secure systems with role-based access control and data permissioning
- Strong product instincts. You think end to end, ask why, and care whether the thing actually gets used
- Excellent stakeholder management and demonstrated cross functional partnership with Finance, Legal, and IT. You can turn a multi-team operational mess into a technical solution without needing a roadmap handed to you
