We're looking for an HR Operations Lead to join our team. Are you a systems-thinker who loves building scalable HR processes from the ground up? We are seeking a highly proactive HR Operations Lead to take full ownership of our core People operations and help us build the infrastructure for our next phase of growth. This is a part-time role, requiring availability equivalent to about 20 hours per week to start, with the potential to transition into a full-time position. What You Will Do

• Own and manage core HR operations: Act as the primary point of contact for cross-functional HR matters, leading several action items, from onboarding/offboarding to background checks and payroll validation.
• Process Design & Optimization: Design, implement, and continuously improve HR processes (onboarding, offboarding, performance reviews, etc.) to support scalable growth. Identify gaps and proactively build structured solutions.
• HR Systems & Tools: Lead the optimization and ongoing development of our HR systems following our recent migration to Rippling. You will be responsible for implementing and rolling out new modules (such as Recruiting and Identity), ensuring processes are aligned with the system, and creating clear, scalable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Recruiting Coordination: Oversee the full hiring lifecycle, align with hiring managers and finance, and manage candidate communications.
• Leadership: Manage, mentor, and provide clear instructions to direct reports.
• Payroll Oversight: Review and validate payroll to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Who We Are Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years in People Operations or HR Operations, with a proven track record of owning processes end-to-end.
• Tech Stack: Hands-on experience with HRIS platforms. (Experience with ClickUp and/or Rippling is a massive plus, as well as tools like Deel, BambooHR, or Gusto).
• Mindset: High ownership. You don't wait for instructions; you identify gaps, adapt to change, and build solutions independently.
• Language & Location: Advanced/Fluent English is strictly required. Must be able to work within PST hours for team alignment and recurring meetings.

Our Core Values At InAir, our culture is guided by the following principles:

• Ownership – If something breaks, we fix it. If something works, we improve it.
• Accountability – We take responsibility for our work and deliver with consistency.
• Humility – We learn from mistakes and grow stronger together.
• Engineering Mindset – We think in systems and build processes that last.
• Diversity – We believe great talent can come from anywhere and different perspectives make us better.

We’re looking for someone who naturally aligns with these values and reflects them in their day-to-day work.
