ABOUT HUT 8

Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world's largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you're an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you've come to the right place.

About the Role
Hut 8 is in the middle of a significant HR systems migration and we're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented People Operations Administrator (6 month Contract) to help keep things running smoothly during the transition. You'll work across both our legacy system (Dayforce) and our new platform (Rippling), supporting data integrity, onboarding, and benefits administration as we work toward full cutover.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accuracy environment and enjoys being the person who keeps the engine running behind the scenes.

What You'll Do
HR Data Entry & Systems Support
• Enter and maintain employee data accurately across Dayforce and Rippling during implementation and ongoing operations.
• Support data audits and reconciliation between systems to catch and resolve discrepancies.
• Process employee changes — new hires, terminations, role changes, and pay updates — in both platforms.
• Assist with building and validating employee records across multiple entities, including Hut 8 Corporate, American Bitcoin, Highrise AI, and others.

Onboarding & Offboarding Support
• Initiate pre-hire onboarding tasks including document collection, system access setup, and I-9/E-Verify completion.
• Track onboarding checklists and follow up with new hires and managers on outstanding items.
• Assist with offer letter coordination and ensure records are filed accurately in SharePoint.
• Maintain accurate Pingboard (org chart) data and compile onboarding packages for new hires.
• Review internal forms and ensure data entry follow-up is complete; keep trackers current and flag missing items.
• Support Dayforce data integrity and the Rippling transition data audit and clean-up.

Benefits Administration
• Enter benefit elections for new hires and qualifying life events into the benefits administration platform.
• Send benefit welcome emails to new hires with enrollment instructions, deadlines, and carrier contacts.
• Track enrollment status, follow up on missing elections, and coordinate with brokers and carriers to resolve issues.

Payroll & Compliance Administration
• Assist with payroll administration tasks, audits, and data validation.
• Support unemployment claims administration, including intake, documentation, deadline tracking, and stakeholder coordination.
• Maintain personnel files and ensure compliance with document retention requirements.
• Assist with employment verification requests and other routine People Operations inquiries.

Immigration Support
• Assist with tracking and coordinating immigration cases for current and prospective team members.
• Maintain the immigration tracker and monitor key deadlines and work authorization expirations.
• Serve as a point of contact between external immigration counsel, hiring managers, recruiters, and team members.
• Follow up on open cases and support document collection and case administration.

General People Operations Support
• Provide administrative support for People Operations projects and initiatives.
• Help maintain process documentation, standard operating procedures, and team resources.
• Assist with reporting, audits, and data requests as needed.
• Support the People team with special projects during the HRIS migration and stabilization period.

What We're Looking For
• 1–3 years of experience in HR, payroll, or people operations; benefits or HRIS experience is a strong plus.
• Comfort working in multiple HR systems simultaneously; experience with Dayforce and/or Rippling is a bonus but not required.
• High attention to detail — you catch errors before they become problems.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities.
• Discreet and professional handling of confidential employee information.
• Proactive communicator who flags issues early and follows through.

Nice to Have
• Experience supporting multi-entity or multi-state employers.
• Familiarity with benefits open enrollment or new hire benefits onboarding workflows.

Why This Role
You'll be embedded in a lean, fast-moving People Operations team at a company at the intersection of technology and Energy infrastructure. While this is a temporary engagement, the work is meaningful and the team is collaborative — and there's always the opportunity to make a strong impact during a high-visibility transition.
