• Manage the Senior People Operations Coordinator: set priorities by cohort, review their work, and keep sensitive questions and decisions with the right HR owner
• Plan onboarding workload against cohort size, deadlines, and support needed for current fellows, and flag when volume requires surge help
• Build checklists and repeatable processes so larger cohorts onboard with less manual work
• Be an HR contact for questions about benefits, leave, workplace concerns, and employment policies
• Help managers and fellows resolve timekeeping issues and coordinate payroll corrections with Finance and our providers
• Maintain accurate employee records as work locations or employment details change

• Track onboarding readiness, open tasks, and employee issues, and give the Head of People clear updates on risks, workload, and recommended actions
• Use approved AI tools and automation to cut repetitive work in communications, tracking, and reporting, while checking accuracy and protecting employee information
