About the role

Wonolo (Work Now Locally) is disrupting the $140BN temporary staffing industry. Founded in 2014, Wonolo's mission is to help people find consistent work. Through our two-sided tech marketplace, we connect hundreds of businesses in need of front-line workers with 2 million underemployed workers in local markets across the United States, within minutes. Wonolo has raised over $200M in funding which will continue to help us empower the in-demand workforce by democratizing access to flexible work, opportunities to learn new skills, a living wage, and comprehensive portable benefits and perks.

We're looking for a Senior HR Generalist to join Wonolo's People team. This is a hands-on, full-scope role for someone who genuinely likes wearing multiple hats — one week you might be deep in a benefits question, the next you're auditing pay equity data, drafting a new policy, or jumping in to help Recruiting push through a hiring surge. You'll be a key operator on a lean team, which means real ownership and real visibility into how People work shapes the company.

This is a great fit for someone who's energized by modern ways of working, including using AI tools to work smarter, not just faster.

We welcome qualified candidates located anywhere in the United States #LI-Remote.

What you'll do:

HR Operations

Serve as a go-to resource for employees and managers on day-to-day HR questions
Support pay equity and pay transparency data entry, auditing, and reporting
Own or support key people processes: onboarding/offboarding, leave administration, employee records, and lifecycle transactions
Support the performance management lifecycle
Draft and maintain documentation (policies, guidelines, forms, and process docs) that are clear and usable, not just compliant
Support employee relations matters (performance concerns, accommodation requests, and separations) with discretion and sound judgment

Benefits Administration & Compliance

Assist in the administration of day-to-day benefits programs across the US and Canada, including benefits enrollment, vendor coordination, equity grant processing, and employee questions
Help evaluate and improve benefits offerings and identify opportunities to simplify administration
Stay current on North American (US and Canada) labor laws and regulations to keep the organization compliant
Support audits, EEOC reporting, and other compliance-related documentation
Ensure compliance of the company policies and procedures including developing and/or revising policies and procedures, implementing standard operating procedures that are aligned with applicable labor requirements
Process & Continuous Improvement
Compile and analyze HR metrics to support data-driven decisions
Lead or contribute to initiatives that streamline and automate People workflows
Bring an experimental mindset to using AI tools in day-to-day HR work; from documentation to process design
Identify opportunities to improve policies and ensure the company is operating securely, scalably, and effectively

Recruiting & Talent (as needed)

Provide surge support to the Recruiting/Talent team during periods of increased hiring need — sourcing, screening, or interview coordination
Step in flexibly without owning a standing requisition load

Who you are:

4+ years of HR generalist experience spanning HR operations, benefits, and compliance
Working knowledge of North American labor laws, compliance requirements, and HR best practices
Comfortable with detailed data entry and auditing work (e.g., pay equity/transparency reporting) as well as higher-level process design
Comfortable moving between strategic and tactical work; you can build a process and also run it
A clear, direct communicator who documents things well and treats people like adults
Curious about and open to using AI tools to improve how HR work gets done
