Position Summary:


The HR Operations Generalist serves as the operational foundation of EverDriven's HR function and the front line of the employee experience. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role responsible for ensuring day-to-day HR operations run with precision and care - spanning benefits administration, employee onboarding and lifecycle management, HRIS administration, compliance support, office operations, and employee engagement.

This role requires a service-first professional with a positive, can-do attitude - someone who approaches every interaction with the belief that no task is too small and every employee deserves a responsive, supportive experience. The ideal candidate brings strong organizational discipline, thrives in a high-volume transactional environment, and maintains composure and accuracy under pressure. Additionally, this role actively supports employee engagement initiatives including wellness programming, volunteer coordination, and culture-building activities.
