### The Opportunity

This is a builder role at a company that is running at full speed. Pindrop has the people, the product, and the market momentum. What we need now is the operational backbone that matches that ambition- an HR Operations function that is not just keeping the lights on, but actively enabling the business to scale with precision, compliance, and speed.

This person will be the operational engine of the People team; the person who makes sure that accuracy and urgency are not in conflict, and that the People function shows up as a genuine business partner to Finance, Legal, IT, and the broader organization.

### Your skill-set

You are:

- 7+ years of progressive HR Operations experience, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role at a scaling technology company
- Deep, hands-on HRIS expertise, UKG Ready experience is **strongly preferred**. You have implemented, configured, and optimized an HRIS before, not just used one
- Proven ownership of payroll, multi-state compliance, and benefits administration,  including international benefits programs and 401k plan administration
- Direct experience managing immigration programs including H-1B and green card sponsorships in partnership with outside counsel
- Experience managing external audits, including 401k audits, customer compliance audits (SOC 2, ISO, or equivalent), and state/federal regulatory filings
- A track record of building compliance training programs that actually change behavior, not just check a box
- Exceptional cross-functional partnership skills-  you have worked closely with Finance, Legal, and IT and have earned their trust as a subject matter expert, not just a service provider
- Strong SOPs discipline- you build documentation that outlasts the person who built it
- The operational mindset that accuracy and urgency belong together, you do not sacrifice one for the other

Strongly Preferred:

- Experience at a company scaling for growth- you know what breaks at this stage and how to get ahead of it
- Familiarity with AI-enabled HR tools and a genuine curiosity about automation.  You are looking for ways to use technology to reduce manual work, not reasons to avoid it
- Experience designing total rewards communication strategies and building employee-facing compensation and benefits transparency
- PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP certification preferred but not required

### Who you are

- Runs toward complexity, not away from it. Sees a messy HRIS and a compliance gap and thinks about how to fix it, not how to explain why it is hard.
- Holds an incredibly high bar for accuracy, and does not see that as being in conflict with moving fast. Has figured out how to do both simultaneously.
- Shows up as a business partner, not a process administrator. Understands what Finance needs from payroll data and gives it to them in the format they need, not the format that is easiest to produce.
- Is a builder. Has done this before in an environment where the infrastructure did not yet exist, and is energized by the opportunity to build it right this time.
- Communicates with clarity and confidence at all levels of the organization, equally comfortable presenting to the CEO, running a benefits enrollment meeting, or working through the technical details of a UKG integration with IT.

### What’s in it for you

This role will be evaluated against outcomes, not activity:

- UKG Ready fully optimized and integrated within 6 months, with measurable improvement in data quality, payroll accuracy, and finance reporting reliability
- Zero compliance findings in state, federal, or customer audits attributable to HR Operations gaps
- Payroll error rate at or below industry benchmark (measured monthly)
- All SOPs documented and accessible within 120 days; updated on a defined cadence thereafter
- Immigration cases managed on-time with no lapses in employee work authorization
- Company-wide compliance training completion at 95%+ within 60 days of program launch
- Finance, Legal, and HRBP partners rate HR Operations as a strong cross-functional partner in quarterly stakeholder surveys
