• 4+ years of experience in an HR generalist role, preferably in a technology or AI-focused company.
• Experience with popular HRIS, such as BambooHR or Workday, and other common HR tools, such as an ATS, contingent talent management, performance management, and engagement survey tools.

• Strong attention to detail, patience, and the ability to efficiently handle high volumes of data daily.
