The People & Operations Coordinator is an essential team member who keeps our U.S. operations running seamlessly while fostering an exceptional workplace experience across our Carlsbad and Rancho Cucamonga facilities.

Working in close partnership with the Sr. Director, People, this role balances daily office and facilities management (~50%) with talent acquisition, onboarding logistics, and employee culture programs (~50%).

Career Opportunity: While this is currently structured as a part-time position, high performance will lead to future role expansion, career advancement, or a transition into a full-time position as our organization and business needs evolve!
