Human Resources Coordinator
Work & Co (work.co) defines and launches the world’s most successful digital products and services. With offices in the United States, Brazil and Europe, we’ve become the go-to partner for IKEA, Google, Apple, Mercedes, Mailchimp, Etsy, Planned Parenthood, Gatorade, and more. As Fast Company noted, our engineering and design teams are routinely entrusted with creating digital products for companies which rarely approach outside firms. Forrester Research calls our approach “a model to follow.”
Our people are the secret to our award-winning work. The Talent Group is responsible for ensuring that Work & Co maintains its record of attracting and retaining the top talent in the industry. As a main point of contact for employees, the HR Coordinator is responsible for supporting employees from their first day through their tenure with us, ensuring employees have what they need to focus on their craft.
Our new HR Coordinator is both professional and approachable, understanding that we’re not looking to add steps and bureaucracy to our HR function, but instead to make our employees’ lives easier. They are an effective and confident communicator as they assist with ushering employees through onboarding, benefit management, and training/development-- all while looking out for new ways we can better support our teams.
The right candidate for this role is obsessed with the employee experience. They understand that talent processes and programs should reflect the Work & Co brand. They bring to every interaction empathy and a deep understanding of our distinct values. They help us to keep the standards high and maintain an environment where all employees are extraordinary at their craft, value the power of diversity and inclusion, and above all, are good human beings.
