[Hiring] People Systems and Lifecycle Generalist @Anaconda, Inc.

Role Description

Anaconda is seeking a talented People professional who is a systems-thinker to join our rapidly growing company. This role combines employee lifecycle administration, People systems, AI, automation, and continuous improvement into a single position. It isn't a traditional HR Generalist role, and it isn't a traditional People Systems role. It's intentionally designed to combine the strengths of both.

• Own critical employee lifecycle work while continuously improving how that work gets done through technology, thoughtful process design, automation, and AI.
• Success in this role isn't measured only by the work you complete, it's measured by how much better you leave our People function than you found it.
• This is an excellent opportunity for you to leverage your experience and skills and apply it to the world of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

What You'll Do

• Employee Lifecycle Administration:
  • Own the operational administration of onboarding while partnering with teammates responsible for onboarding strategy, content, and learning.
  • Support employees and managers throughout the employee lifecycle by providing responsive, thoughtful service.
  • Execute hires, promotions, organizational changes, compensation updates, leaves, and offboarding with exceptional accuracy.
  • Maintain employee records, documentation, compliance administration, and data integrity.
  • Operationalize recurring People programs including performance reviews, compensation reviews, promotions, engagement surveys, and other cyclical initiatives.
• Systems, AI, & Continuous Improvement:
  • Administer Rippling and other People technologies, configuring workflows, automations, approvals, forms, reporting, and employee lifecycle processes.
  • Continuously improve workflows by reducing manual work, simplifying processes, and creating scalable employee and manager experiences.
  • Build documentation, self-service resources, automations, and knowledge tools that increase the effectiveness of the People team.
  • Regularly leverage AI to improve documentation, communications, reporting, research, knowledge management, and operational efficiency.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and identify practical opportunities to improve how the People team operates.
• Partnership:
  • Partner closely with People Business Partners, People Programs, Total Rewards, and business leaders to operationalize People initiatives.
  • Build trusted relationships across the organization while contributing ideas and best practices that continuously improve the employee experience.

Your Impact Will Be Measured Through

• Employee and manager satisfaction with People support.
• Increased operational leverage across the People team through workflow improvements, automation, and AI.
• Reduced manual work and increased self-service.
• Accuracy and reliability of employee data and People systems.
• Continuous improvement in how the People team delivers services at scale.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in HR, People Systems, HR technology, People Operations, or a closely related role with meaningful ownership of employee lifecycle administration.
• Experience administering an HRMS such as Rippling, Workday, UKG, or a comparable platform.
• Strong understanding of employee lifecycle administration and experience configuring workflows, automations, forms, approvals, reporting, or other HR technology solutions.
• Demonstrated success improving operational processes, not simply executing them.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) as a regular part of your workflow, with the judgment to validate outputs and understand where AI should and shouldn't be used.
• A demonstrated ability to think in systems, simplify complexity, and improve how work gets done.
• Strong communication, organization, customer service, and stakeholder management skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• You embody our values: Curious by Default, Build Together, Own It, and Lead with Guts and Heart, and our behaviors: Clarity, Care and Candor.
• You care deeply about fostering an environment where people of all backgrounds and experiences can flourish.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience administering Rippling.
• Experience designing workflow automations, integrations, or scalable operational improvements within an HRMS.
• Demonstrated success using AI to improve operational efficiency, documentation, reporting, or employee experiences.
• Experience working in a high-growth environment while balancing operational execution with continuous improvement.
• A track record of increasing the effectiveness of a People team through technology, systems thinking, and operational excellence.
• Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Experience working in an open-source, AI, or data science-oriented company.
