At Mercury we care a lot about our people. A thoughtful People team is a key part of attracting and taking care of our team. Our People Operations team is looking for someone to help support the greater Mercury team by building resources and executing significant people processes. 

As the People Operations Specialist, you will work with our People Operations Manager on a variety of projects, such as employee engagement, performance management, immigration, leave management, data management, and more. 

This opportunity could be great for someone who is self-aware, adaptable, a skilled problem-solver in a fast-paced work environment, and a thoughtful communicator. 

Here are some things you’ll do on the job:

• Maintain our HRIS systems and keep other People tools up to date (e.g. manager changes, salary changes, promotions, leave status, separations, etc.)
• Provide both administrative and strategic support for various different People processes (e.g., employee engagement surveys, performance reviews) 
• Manage immigration cases, visa sponsorships, and leaves (e.g., parental leave, medical leave) by partnering with internal and external stakeholders.
• Assist with ad-hoc projects and programs as they come up (Examples: Building policies, developing training materials, developing reports)
• Serve as our point of contact for various external vendors 
• Continuously monitor for better platforms and tools for the People team 

Because we’re growing quickly, a few years of experience in a similar role is preferable. You should also: 

• Have a BA/BS or a background you feel is equivalent
• Be confident in your ability to navigate ambiguity and manage through complex processes
• Enjoy optimizing processes and thinking about how to automate your job
• Have a strong preference for working with great tools, and be comfortable working with or learning the tools we use (Mercury, Greenhouse Onboarding, Gusto, 1Password, Notion, Slack, Google Admin, etc.)
• Have a system for staying organized and a good head for data
• Listen with patience, attention, and empathy
• Have diverse interests and enjoy learning about other people’s interests
• Have a sense of humor (doesn’t have to be a good one)

Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and all employees receive salary + equity + benefits. Individual pay decisions are based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company.
