The Role:

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, people-obsessed People Operations Specialist to help scale and elevate Curri’s People function. In this role, you’ll own onboarding, ensure compliance across states and benefits, administer our People systems (Rippling & Lattice), streamline processes, and help create a world-class employee experience. As Curri continues growing rapidly, this role will be essential in building the operational foundation of the People team. You’ll partner closely with the Director of People and collaborate with teams across the company to ensure that every employee—from pre-hire to offboarding—feels supported, welcomed, and empowered to do their best work. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves improving processes, and wants to directly impact culture, efficiency, and experience at scale.

What you will do:

Own and manage Curri’s end-to-end onboarding program: pre-hire coordination, Rippling setup, orientation, cross-functional alignment, and first-week experience
Maintain compliance across multi-state employment, benefits, required documentation, and audits
Serve as system administrator for Rippling, ensuring data accuracy and optimizing workflows
Identify opportunities to improve People processes, documentation, and efficiency as the company scales
Support benefits administration, open enrollment, vendor communication, and employee education
Assist with People data, reporting, and metrics for decision-making
Partner with the Director of People to support employee engagement, culture initiatives, and continuous improvements
Provide exceptional internal customer service to employees and managers

What you will need to have:

2–4 years of People Operations, HR Generalist, or HR Operations experience in a high-growth environment
Hands-on experience running onboarding programs or managing employee lifecycle processes
Familiarity with HRIS platforms (Rippling preferred) and people programs
Strong organizational skills with high attention to detail and process excellence
Ability to operate autonomously and thrive in an evolving, fast-paced startup
Clear communication skills and a high level of empathy
A mindset that balances operational rigor with an excellent employee experience

What is in it for you?

Direct ownership over foundational People programs during a high-growth phase
Opportunity to shape processes, workflows, and employee experiences across the company
A remote-friendly environment with a flexible schedule that emphasizes outcomes over process
A supportive culture that believes work should be life-giving and meaningful
Competitive salary, equity compensation grant, and comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, and 401K
