Role overview

We’re looking for a Senior HR Generalist to help build and support HR at Standard Bots. This is a hands-on role for someone who moves fast, embraces ambiguity, and isn’t afraid to build processes while actively using them. You’ll be deeply involved in the day-to-day employee experience, partner closely with managers, and help keep our people operations aligned with a growing business.

What You’ll Do

Own Core HR Operations (Day-to-Day)

  engineering, hardware, operations, and go-to-market teams

• Maintain administrative access to core systems and own user access management

• Maintain clean, accurate employee records across HRIS, payroll, and benefits systems

• Manage and process hourly employee timecards accurately and on time

• Respond to issues as they arise with care, urgency, and practical problem-solving
  

Leave Management & Compliance

• Act as the liaison between employees and our leave management platform, monitoring
  ongoing leave cases

• Serve as the contact for employee and manager questions around leave eligibility,
  timing, and pay

• Coordinate with benefits providers, and external partners (e.g., Justworks)

• Stay on top of multi-state employment laws and adapt processes as requirements
  change

• Assist with workers’ compensation claims and requests as needed

Policy Creation & Process Building

• Develop and maintain HR policies and standard operating procedures that accurately
  reflect Standard Bots’ operating practices

• Build lightweight processes that scale - knowing when structure is needed and when
  flexibility matters more

Manager Partnership

• Build strong, trusted relationships with managers across technical and non-technical
  teams

• Serve as a primary point of contact for employee and manager inquiries across all
  levels of the organization, responding in a timely manner and fostering strong,
  trusted relationships

• Support consistent expectations across teams while respecting different management
  styles

Benefits & HR Systems

• Support benefits administration and open enrollment

• Help evaluate, implement, and improve HR tools as the company grows

• Act as liaison and triage ad-hoc employee benefits inquiries

What We’re Looking For

• >3 years of HR experience in a generalist or senior generalist role

• Experience working at a startup or fast-growing company

• Strong operational HR background (onboarding, compliance, leave, employee relations)

• Experience supporting a multi-state workforce

• Comfortable being highly employee-facing and working directly with teams, not
  just handling HR work behind the scenes

Traits That Matter at Standard Bots

• Comfortable moving fast and adjusting as priorities change
  Practical, low-ego, and solutions-oriented

• Strong judgment - knows when to escalate and when to act

• Clear communicator who can explain complex topics simply

• Calm under pressure and trusted by managers and employees

• Willing to execute day-to-day work, not just design processes

What Success Looks Like

• People operations run smoothly without slowing the company down

• Managers see HR as a partner, not a blocker

• Employees get timely, clear answers and support

• Policies and processes exist - but evolve as the company grows

• You help create structure while preserving Standard Bots’ speed and culture
