Eudia is seeking a highly detail-oriented People Operations & Payroll Specialist to join our growing People & Talent team. This role brings HR operations, onboarding, and payroll together in one seat: you'll own Rippling, our people platform, run onboarding for every new Eudian, and keep payroll operations accurate and on time. You'll report directly to and partner closely with the People & Talent Lead, working alongside hiring managers and Finance. This role is onsite in our Palo Alto office five days a week.
Key Responsibilities:

- Run payroll operations accurately and on time, and partner with People & Talent Lead and Finance on approvals.
- Manage payroll tax registrations and agency notices as we hire in new states and localities in Rippling.
- Own the new hire onboarding experience, from offer acceptance through the first 30 days.
- Lead new hire orientation and set every new Eudian up for success from day one.
- Partner with the People & Talent Lead and hiring managers to design first-week experiences and role-specific onboarding plans.
- Complete I-9 and E-Verify on time and keep onboarding documentation audit-ready.
- Manage offboarding, ensuring every change is accurate through the final paycheck.
- Keep employee data clean through regular audits, and build reports for headcount, audits, and leadership requests.
- Serve as the first point of contact for employee questions about payroll, benefits, and our people systems.
- Support ad hoc projects and initiatives for the People & Talent function as needed.
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in HR operations, payroll, or people systems, preferably in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.
- Hands-on experience with Rippling or a similar HRIS, such as ADP, Gusto, or Paylocity.
- Experience running new hire onboarding and orientation, with working knowledge of I-9 and E-Verify requirements.
- Working knowledge of payroll operations and payroll tax registrations.
- Exceptional attention to detail, with a track record of catching errors before they reach employees.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills, including lookups, pivot tables, and reconciliations.
- Sound judgment and discretion with confidential employee and compensation data.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a customer service mindset.
