People Operations Coordinator

Help build the employee experience and right-sized processes at a rapidly scaling company!

MatrixSpace develops AI-enabled radar and sensing systems that help people understand what's happening in the world around them. By combining advanced radar, edge computing, and AI, we deliver situational awareness in environments where traditional sensing solutions struggle.

We're looking for a collaborative and highly organized People Operations Coordinator to help scale our HR function as we continue to grow. You'll spend time driving recruiting processes across multiple open roles, coordinating onboarding for new hires, supporting employee engagement initiatives, and ensuring day-to-day HR operations run smoothly. Working closely with hiring managers, employees, and leadership, you'll help create an exceptional employee experience from candidate to colleague.

If you're proactive, resourceful, and excited to wear many hats in a growing company, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate full-cycle recruiting activities across 10+ open positions, including scheduling interviews, managing candidate communications, and working with hiring managers to keep hiring processes moving forward
• Own and continuously improve the onboarding process for new hires across all locations
• Drive and support employee engagement initiatives, company events, recognition programs, and culture-building activities
• Maintain employee records and HR systems with a high degree of accuracy and confidentiality
• Assist with benefits administration, employee communications, and general HR operations
• Serve as a go-to resource for employees on HR-related questions and processes
• Help identify opportunities to improve and scale people programs as the company grows
• Occasional travel to our office in Hoffman Estates, IL

What We're Looking For

This position requires working directly or indirectly with the US Government in restricted environments. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance in the future.

Required

• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and discretion
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, service-oriented approach and willingness to jump in wherever needed
• Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Someone Who Will Thrive in This Role

• Maybe has been in a more siloed People Ops/HR role and wants to expand into more of a generalist
• Takes ownership of projects and follows through on details without needing constant direction
• Enjoys building structure and creating organized processes
• Is naturally curious and always looking for ways to improve the employee experience
• Builds trust quickly and communicates effectively with people at all levels of the organization
