[Hiring] Senior HR Generalist @Runway

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior HR Generalist to own the day-to-day of Runway’s HR function and shape how it scales. You’ll run core programs end to end, advise managers and employees on sensitive situations, unblock teams so they can move faster and build the processes that keep a fast-growing team compliant and well supported. You’ll work directly with the HR Manager as a strategic partner, and you’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, set priorities and fix what’s broken without waiting to be asked.

What you’ll do

• Own the employee lifecycle from onboarding through offboarding for full-time employees and contractors, and keep improving the process as the team grows.
• Own HRIS administration and data integrity in Rippling, including reporting, audits and workflow automation.
• Manage employee visa and immigration processes in partnership with outside counsel.
• Oversee leave administration and accommodations across jurisdictions, and keep policies and practices compliant with current employment law.
• Run key programs end to end with the HR Manager, including performance reviews, open enrollment, engagement surveys and compensation cycles.
• Act as the go-to resource for employees and managers on benefits, policies and HR processes.
• Identify gaps in HR operations and ship fixes: updated policies, clearer documentation and more efficient tooling.
• Pitch in wherever the team needs; no task is too small if it moves things forward.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in an HR Generalist or people operations role at a high-growth company.
• Deep working knowledge of benefits, leave administration, immigration basics and employment law across multiple states.
• Experience running company-wide programs such as performance cycles, open enrollment and engagement surveys.
• Strong HRIS skills, with Rippling experience a strong plus.
• Clear written and verbal communication, and the credibility to advise managers and senior leaders.
• Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail.
• A high ownership mindset and a team-first attitude.

Benefits

• Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team.
• Salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry.
• Salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide.
• Factors that go into salary determinations include relevant experience, skill level and qualifications assessed during the interview process.
• We are open to considering candidates who may be more or less experienced than outlined in the job description.
• The provided range is the expected salary for candidates in the U.S.; changes may occur outside of those regions.
