HR Operations Associate

The Role

Farther's People team runs the infrastructure that keeps our corporate workforce moving. As our HR Operations Associate, you'll own the full corporate employee lifecycle — onboarding through offboarding — and be the engine behind the systems, workflows, and automation that make it all run. This is a role for someone who lives in the ops layer: you know how to make tools talk to each other, you see a manual process and immediately think about how to automate it, and you come in with ideas rather than waiting to be handed a project. You'll work closely with Finance, Talent, and leadership — and directly with Allison to level up how People Ops runs at Farther.

Your Impact

• Build, maintain, and continuously improve HR workflows, SOPs, and automation in Rippling — this is the core of the role
• Identify and implement AI and automation opportunities across HR operations — we want someone who sees where the function can work smarter and goes and builds it
• Own end-to-end corporate employee lifecycle administration: onboarding, job changes, offboarding, and everything in between — including Rippling setup, I-9 / E-Verify, documentation, and equipment coordination
• Own the corporate orientation program and internship / contractor hiring workflows
• Maintain the corporate people metrics dashboard; review Lattice survey data monthly and surface action items
• Coordinate corporate payroll entries and partner with Finance on accuracy and multi-state nuance
• Support multi-state HR compliance in partnership with legal and compliance tools
• Complete background checks and broker checks for corporate hires; manage state registration coordination
• Serve as a trusted first point of contact for corporate employees on all HR policy questions

The Ideal Match

• 2+ years of experience in HR operations, people ops, or a systems-heavy generalist role
• Rippling power user — you've built workflows and automation recipes, not just navigated the platform
• Demonstrated AI and automation fluency — you've used these tools to actually improve an HR process, not just heard of them
• Ops-first mindset: you think in systems, you document everything, and you're always looking for a more efficient way
• Proactive and self-directed — you identify what's broken, bring a solution, and build it without being asked
• Clear communicator who can make HR accessible to everyone from a day-one hire to senior leadership

Bonus Points

• Experience with Greenhouse, Lattice, or other HR/recruiting tools that integrate with Rippling
