What they're looking for
- HRIS administration in Rippling: employee records, workflows, onboarding automation, and data integrity
- Onboarding end to end: pre-boarding, Day 1 coordination, and 30/60/90 day check-ins in partnership with managers
- Benefits administration: open enrollment, carrier coordination, employee questions, and day-to-day benefits support
- Compliance: I-9 management, employment law adherence (California and federal), required policy maintenance, and ITAR documentation at offer stage
- Company policy ownership: employee handbook, PTO policy, code of conduct, and required state and federal postings
- Job posting management: publish and maintain open roles on the Salient Motion careers page and LinkedIn, keep postings current, and ensure all listings include required ITAR and location language
