Who We Are
The Uncommon Business is the world's fastest-growing AI-first education company, teaching business leaders to architect intelligent systems, not just prompt tools. We don't do busywork, legacy thinking, or 80-hour founder weeks. We build companies where AI handles the repeatable, humans drive the irreplaceable, and leaders scale without burning out. We're profitable, EOS-driven, and operate in championship-level surge cycles. You'll be promoted on impact and ownership β not tenure. High performers thrive here. Passengers don't last.
If You Worked Here Last Week
You might have:
Owned full-cycle recruiting coordination for 3 open roles simultaneously, keeping every candidate informed and every hiring manager on track without a single dropped thread.
Built an onboarding automation in Rippling that reduced new hire setup time by 40%, so every team member hit Day 1 with system access, context, and a warm welcome already in motion.
Audited HRIS records across the full team and resolved 15 data discrepancies before a quarterly compliance review β no chasing, no gaps.
Synthesized a company-wide pulse survey into a tight executive summary with 5 clear themes and 3 recommended actions delivered directly to the Director of People.
Coordinated offer letters and contractor agreements for 2 new hires across different states, catching a worker classification nuance before it became a compliance issue.
Your Core Responsibilities
We value ownership over task lists. Here's where you'll lead:
Recruiting & Candidate Experience. Manage job postings across platforms, coordinate interviews across time zones, and own candidate communication from application to offer. You keep the ATS clean, the pipeline accurate, and every candidate clear on where they stand β because how we hire reflects who we are.
Onboarding & Day-One Experience. Own the full onboarding workflow end-to-end: welcome communications, system access, first-week scheduling, buddy coordination, and I-9 completion. You build and iterate on automations so every new hire gets the same exceptional first impression, regardless of who's managing the day.
HRIS & Data Integrity. Keep employee records current and accurate across the full lifecycle in Rippling (or equivalent), processing job changes, promotions, transfers, and offboarding without errors. You run recurring people data reports β headcount, turnover, compliance β and treat data quality as non-negotiable.
Employee Experience & Engagement. Support culture initiatives, recognition programs, and pulse surveys, synthesizing feedback into clear takeaways for leadership. You serve as a reliable, warm first point of contact for team member HR questions β making sure no one navigates the system alone.
Compliance & Policy Operations. Maintain the employee handbook, support multi-state and international employment compliance, and keep personnel files audit-ready at all times. You flag regulatory shifts before they become risks and own offboarding logistics from exit documentation through system deprovisioning
The Traits Weβre Calling In
We hire humans, not checklists, but success here requires:
You've spent 5+ years in HR, People Ops, or recruiting coordination in a high-growth environment and have built or meaningfully improved at least one people process from scratch.
You communicate with clarity and warmth β written and live β and team members actually feel supported when they come to you with a question.
You're genuinely AI-curious and already experimenting with how automation can make HR faster without making it feel colder.
You've worked in HRIS platforms (Rippling, Gusto, or similar), take data integrity seriously, and have a working grasp of multi-state employment compliance with basic exposure to global HR or EOR models.
You find gaps before they become problems, protect confidentiality without being reminded, and bring solutions forward β not just observations.
Even Better If...
You hold or are actively working toward SHRM-CP or PHR certification.
You have experience with Notion or similar project management tools, and platforms like Deel or Remote.
You have exposure to ICHRA, LSA, or benefits administration in a distributed team context.
