Job Overview

Position Summary We're hiring a People Generalist on a six-month fixed-term basis to give our People team real capacity during a busy stretch.

This is hands-on, high-volume work: you'll own requisitions end to end, run onboarding for new hires, clean up our employee files, and build out s across the business.

Job Description
