About the Role
WorkWhile is looking for a versatile, detail-oriented HR Generalist to own the day-to-day HR operations for our headquarters team. This is a critical "foundational" role where you will manage the entire employee lifecycle, starting with the moment a new hire signs their offer.
You will be the backbone of our people data, the owner of our onboarding experience, and a key contributor to strategic projects like performance reviews, impact initiatives, and HRIS migration.

Own HQ Operations: Act as the primary point of contact for all HR-related inquiries for corporate staff.
Data Integrity: Maintain 100% accuracy in our employee records and internal databases. You will be the "source of truth" for all people data.
Systems Support: Assist in the evaluation and selection of new vendors through the RFP process for Payroll and HRIS platforms to ensure our tech stack scales with our growth.
