Role Overview

As a People Operations Coordinator, you will support a fast-growing HR team by helping manage recruiting, onboarding, employee engagement, and day-to-day people operations. This role works closely with hiring managers, employees, and leadership to create a smooth experience from candidate stage through employee lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Support end-to-end hiring activities across more than 10 open roles, including interview scheduling, candidate communication, and coordination with hiring managers.
• Take ownership of onboarding for new hires and keep improving the process across all office locations.
• Assist with employee engagement efforts, company gatherings, recognition initiatives, and culture-focused activities.
• Keep employee data and HR systems accurate, organized, and confidential.
• Help with benefits administration, internal HR communications, and general people operations tasks.
• Act as a reliable contact point for employees with HR-related questions and process guidance.
• Look for opportunities to strengthen and scale people programs as the organization continues to expand.
• Be open to occasional travel to the Hoffman Estates, IL office.

Requirements

• 1 to 3 years of experience in Human Resources, Recruiting, Talent Acquisition, People Operations, or a closely related area.
• Hands-on experience coordinating hiring workflows, setting interviews, and juggling multiple priorities at once.
• Strong organizational ability with a sharp eye for detail.
• Comfort handling confidential and sensitive information with care and professionalism.
• Clear written and spoken communication skills.
• A self-driven, helpful attitude and a willingness to step in wherever support is needed.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, changing environment.
• Must be legally allowed to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.
• May need to obtain and keep a U.S. government security clearance in the future because the work may involve restricted environments with the U.S. Government.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity may suit someone who has worked in a narrower People Ops or HR function and wants to broaden into a more generalist role. The right person takes responsibility for their work, builds structure, and enjoys creating organized processes. They should be naturally curious, comfortable earning trust across all levels, and able to balance empathy with practical decision-making. Experience organizing events, group activities, or team-building efforts would be an added advantage.

Why This Role Matters

People Operations at MatrixSpace plays a key role in shaping both growth and culture. In this position, you will help build the systems, experiences, and support that enable employees to do their best work in a scaling company.
