People Operations Generalist

About the Role

As our People Operations Generalist, you'll be the first person employees and managers turn to for guidance. You'll handle sensitive situations fairly, build the tracking and programs that keep us consistent as we grow, and help managers lead with confidence.

We're all about that in-person vibe, so this role is 100% on-site! If you're excited to work side-by-side with our team (or are ready to make the move), then you're a perfect fit. If not, we kindly ask you to hold off on applying. Thanks for understanding and happy job hunting!

How You'll Be Rewarded

At TaxRise, Inc., we believe in rewarding hard work and dedication! We offer our team members a competitive base salary, with opportunities for growth based on performance and experience.

What You'll Do

• Be the day-to-day People partner for employees and managers across departments, and own employee relations from intake to resolution, escalating to People Leadership when a situation calls for it.
• Partner with People Leadership to run thorough, objective and timely investigations into allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation and failure to accommodate.
• Coach managers through performance, attendance and difficult conversations, from documentation and corrective action to early intervention, and review termination requests with leadership so every separation is fair and defensible.
• Administer leaves of absence and accommodation requests under FMLA, ADA and state and local law, and monitor leave and attendance patterns so protected leave is applied consistently and never counted against employees.
• Build and maintain leave and employee relations dashboards.
• Conduct exit interviews, and report turnover trends and recommendations to leadership.
• Champion TaxRise's values in every interaction, run engagement and pulse surveys, and follow through with managers so feedback turns into action. Help teams adapt with clarity as we grow and our processes change.
• Keep the handbook and People policies current, and design and deliver new-manager onboarding and people-manager training.

• 3-5 years of progressive HR experience, including time in a generalist role
• At least 1 year of hands-on experience with employee relations, leave and accommodations, and workplace investigations
