People Operations Associate at Inspiren

<h3><strong>About Inspiren&nbsp;</strong></h3> <p>Inspiren offers the most complete and connected ecosystem in senior living. Founded by Michael Wang, a former Green Beret turned cardiothoracic nurse, Inspiren proves that compassionate care and technology can coexist - bringing peace of mind to residents, families, and staff.</p> <p>Our integrated solutions seamlessly fit into existing workflows, capturing everything happening within a community. Backed by nurse specialists and powerful analytics, we provide the data operators need to make informed clinical and operational decisions - driving efficiency, profitability, and better care outcomes.</p> <h3><strong>About the Role</strong></h3> <p>The People Ops Associate is the operational backbone of Inspiren's People function — the person who makes everything run. This role is deeply tactical by design: you'll own the day-to-day systems and processes that power our employee experience, from HRIS administration and onboarding workflows to benefits and compliance.</p> <p>What makes this role genuinely exciting is the expectation to not just execute the work, but to constantly look for ways to make it better. Whether that's spotting a manual workflow that could be automated, identifying a process gap before it becomes a problem, or building scalable infrastructure that will outlast your first year — this role rewards initiative and operational creativity.</p> <h3><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>HRIS Administration: </strong>Own data integrity, system configuration, and reporting across our HRIS.

Manage enrollment processes, answer employee questions, and maintain accurate tracking.</li> <li><strong>Compliance &amp; Records:&nbsp;</strong>Maintain the compliance calendar, manage personnel files and employment records, and keep us ahead of federal and state regulatory requirements.</li> <li><strong>Payroll Support:&nbsp;</strong>Run bi-weekly contractor hour processing and support payroll workflows as needed.</li> <li><strong>Process Improvement:&nbsp;</strong>Identify manual or repetitive workflows that could be automated or streamlined — and take initiative to improve them. We expect this, not just appreciate it.</li> <li><strong>Lattice &amp; Performance:&nbsp;</strong>Support performance cycle administration, including 30/60/90 audits, Grow track management, and Lattice data hygiene.</li> <li><strong>Notion &amp; Internal Resources:&nbsp;</strong>Keep the People Ops Notion workspace current, accurate, and useful.
