Human Resources Generalist (Flexible Hours)

Senior HR Specialist
We are not able to provide employment sponsorship, including OPT or STEM OPT.

We're looking for an HR Specialist to keep People Operations running smoothly across the whole company.

You'll own payroll and multi-state compliance, our core people systems and employee data, our performance review cycles and company training, and you'll keep the employee handbook accurate and current. You'll be the single go‑to for everything people‑related, and you'll partner closely with Finance and Operations so every decision rests on clean data and clear process.

If you also enjoy finding ways to evolve and improve how we work, that's a welcome bonus.

The right person for this role will bring deep HR operations experience, sharp attention to compliance, and clear, direct communication.

People Operations Systems and Data

Own and continually improve our core HR systems, workflows, and documentation.

Keep employee data accurate, organized, and easy to pull when leadership needs it.

Payroll

Own payroll from start to finish: processing, accuracy, timelines, and issue resolution, every cycle, with no surprises.

Keep ALIS compliant with federal, state, and local employment and pay regulations across our 17 states, including Illinois‑specific requirements.

Stay on top of multi‑state obligations like unemployment and, where relevant, sales tax.

Help stand up compliant employment in new states as ALIS continues to grow.

Handbook, Policy, And Company Training

Design and run year‑round company training on compliance and policy.

Translate policy into plain language people can actually follow.

Performance and Review Cycles

Own the rhythm and logistics of our performance review cycles from start to finish.

Give managers clean tools, clear timelines, and reliable data so reviews stay fair and on schedule.

Cross-Functional Partnership

Work closely with Finance, Operations, and leadership to keep people, payroll, and business needs aligned.

Surface risks, gaps, and inefficiencies early, before they turn into problems.

Have at least 5 years of HR experience, either at a SaaS company or running HR on your own as an individual contributor.

Have owned payroll and people operations in a growing company, ideally through real headcount growth.

Know payroll compliance and HR operations fundamentals cold, and stay current as the rules change.

Are comfortable with multi‑state compliance and can speak to unemployment and, ideally, sales tax across many states.

Are comfortable working across Confluence, Slack, and G Suite, and have experience owning an HRIS (bonus if it's Rippling).

Are comfortable being hands‑on today while building for scale tomorrow.

Bonus: experience with Illinois employment law and an HR certification (SHRM‑CP, PHR, or similar).

Payroll runs accurately and on time, every cycle, without escalation or scramble.

People operations are clear, consistent, and easy to navigate for employees and managers alike.

The handbook, company training, and review cycles all run on a predictable rhythm.

Leadership has full confidence in the data and systems behind team decisions.

Problems get caught and solved early, not after they become fires.
