The Opportunity

We're looking for a People Operations Coordinator who wants to be the engine behind a great employee experience. You'll support Onboarding, Systems, Benefits, Recruiting, and Compliance — the behind-the-scenes work that makes Canopy a place people genuinely love working at. This is a role for someone who takes real pride in getting the details right, moves fast, and finds satisfaction in a smooth, well-oiled process.

If you love people, love systems, and love making both work better together — keep reading.

What You'll Do

Onboarding & Offboarding

• Own the New Hire Experience end-to-end — offers out the door, background checks and paperwork wrapped up, a great first-day orientation, and I-9/E-Verify handled without a hitch.
• Manage offboarding with the same care: clean exit processes, systems updated, and COBRA.

People Systems

• Keep our People Systems accurate, current, and running like clockwork.
• Look for ways to use AI and automation to make People Ops faster and more accurate — we want you to bring ideas, not just execute ours.
• Pitch in on audits and reporting throughout the year.

Other

• Help answer employee questions.
• Assist with equity and payroll administration.
• Support the recruiting team with scheduling, reference checks, onsite interviews.
• Support employment verifications and unemployment claims.
• Administer training through our Learning Management System.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years in a People Operations role, with experience in onboarding and HRIS.
• Strong technical skills with HR systems — you're comfortable learning new tools quickly and using them well.
• Bachelor's Degree in HR, Business Administration, or related field preferred.
• A warm, people-first demeanor and a genuine interest in helping employees have a great experience.
• Sharp attention to detail — accuracy and organization aren't optional for you.
• A quick, adaptable pace — you can shift with the team's needs and always follow through.
• Curiosity and a desire to learn across multiple disciplines within a People Team.
• Sound judgment and the highest degree of confidentiality and discretion.
• Experience with tools like HRIS, ATS, Google Suite, Articulate, and AI tools.

Bonus Points

• Experience in Tech/SaaS.
• Familiarity with our People Tech Stack: Rippling, Lattice, Greenhouse, & NectarHR and AI tools.

We know many women do not apply for a job if they don't perfectly fit the description. We want you to apply anyway.
