BigTime is looking for a full-time People Operations Coordinator to support our Chicago office and partner with our People team. This role blends People Operations coordination with hands-on ownership of the office experience, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both employee-facing work and creating a well-run, welcoming workplace. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is interested in learning more about HR, recruiting, and talent development, while also gaining hands-on experience in office operations.
In this role, you’ll split your time between supporting day-to-day People Operations work and owning the day-to-day experience of our Chicago office. You’ll play a key role in both employee lifecycle processes and ensuring our workplace runs smoothly and efficiently. This is a hybrid role based at our Chicago headquarters.
This role has two core areas of focus:
People Operations Support
- Assist the People team with HR administrative tasks, including data entry, document management, and employee records
- Support recruitment coordination, including interview scheduling, candidate communication, and onsite interview logistics
- Assist with new hire onboarding, ensuring a smooth and positive employee experience
- Provide support for talent development initiatives, such as training coordination, tracking participation, and organizing learning sessions
- Help maintain People Ops processes, documentation, and internal resources
- Partner with People team members on special projects as needed
Office Experience and Operations
- Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for employees, visitors, and vendors
- Greet and assist visitors, clients, and employees
- Manage office supplies, inventory, mail, and package handling
- Coordinate meeting rooms, catering, and office events
- Maintain office access and security (badges, access codes, keys)
- Support new hire IT onboarding and office setup
- Oversee office equipment maintenance and troubleshoot issues
- Maintain a clean, professional, and welcoming office environment
- Assist with space planning, seating arrangements, and office layouts
- Support team-building activities and culture initiatives
- Take ownership of creating a positive, organized, and efficient in-office employee experience
Why this role is a great fit:
- Hands-on exposure to HR, recruiting, and talent development
- Opportunity to learn People Operations in a growing SaaS company
- Supportive team environment with room to grow
- Ideal stepping stone into a future People Ops, HR, or Recruiting role
Our ideal candidate will have:
- 0–2 years of experience in an administrative, office, or people-focused role (or relevant internships)
- Strong organizational skills and willingness to learn
- Friendly, professional communication style
- High attention to detail and reliability
- Comfortable working independently while knowing when to ask questions

BigTime Software, Inc. Insights
What We Do
Leading a successful professional service firm is an art. Running a profitable firm is a business. We understand this because our founder ran an IT Consulting firm for over 15 years. He grappled with the same challenges that professional service firm owners face today. How do I know what my employees are working on? How can I connect time and expenses to clients or projects for billing? What resources do I have available? How can I see relevant reports on the firm’s performance? The list goes on. The problems our founder faced drove the development of an AI-powered professional services automation platform specific to the needs of operational and financial leaders in professional services firms. We know that time tracking is more than timesheets. Time is information. We connect time with every part of your firm’s workflow so that all of the data you’ve collected with BigTime is the basis for metrics-driven reporting that informs your decisions. We live by our founder’s purpose - to help professional service firms combine the art of leadership with the business of being profitable.
Why Work With Us
At BigTime, we foster a culture that values and listens to what employees have to say. We are a high growth company where each employee has the ability to make an impact and develop personally and professionally and grow from within.
