Employee Lifecycle Generalist

Fluidstack•New York, NY

7d•$85,000 - $135,000

About The Position

Employee lifecycle moments (onboarding, promotions, leave, and offboarding) shape how people experience the company. As Fluidstack grows across multiple geographies, executing these moments reliably becomes more complex. This role exists to ensure lifecycle processes run cleanly and consistently in each region. You will own the execution of core employee lifecycle processes in your region: onboarding, offboarding, employment changes, leave administration, and the operational work that keeps the employee experience running cleanly. These are the moments that shape how people feel about working here, and they deserve to be handled with care and precision. Some lifecycle processes already exist, but this function owns how these moments are designed and delivered in practice. You will execute, improve, and evolve onboarding, offboarding, and other lifecycle events as the company grows, ensuring they remain clear, reliable, and thoughtful for the people experiencing them.We want someone who cares about the craftsmanship of these systems, even the parts no one else sees. You report into People Ops and collaborate with cross-functional partners. You’re the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks during the moments that matter most to employees.

Requirements

Intense curiosity about how systems and processes can be designed to serve people better.
Love of learning. Employment practices vary across regions and evolve constantly, and you find that interesting rather than tedious.
Kindness and empathy, especially during the lifecycle moments that matter most to people: their first day, a leave of absence, a departure.
A customer-first mindset. Your customers are Fluidstack employees, and you treat every interaction with them accordingly.
Clarity, approachability, and precision in communication.
You have executed HR/People operations processes before and you care about getting the details right.
You understand that lifecycle moments (first day, last day, parental leave, promotion) shape how people feel about a company. You treat them accordingly.
You’re reliable and organized. When you own a process, things don’t get dropped.
We welcome candidates from operations, HR administration, or any background where process execution and attention to detail were the core of the work. No specific degree required.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Rippling or similar HRIS platforms.
Experience with multi-country or multi-entity employment administration.

Complete onboarding and learn Fluidstack’s lifecycle processes, systems (Rippling and adjacent tools), and regional requirements.
Shadow or review recent onboarding and offboarding cycles to understand current execution quality.
Build relationships with EE Partners, Workplace, and Finance counterparts in your region.
Identify any gaps between documented processes and actual execution in your geo.
Own end-to-end execution of onboarding and offboarding for your region. No handoff confusion, no missed steps.
Process employment changes (role changes, promotions, transfers, leaves) accurately and on time.
Maintain clean employee records and ensure compliance with local employment requirements.
Surface process improvement opportunities with clear data: what’s breaking, how often, and what it costs.
Lifecycle processes in your region run reliably. Managers and employees trust the system.
You’ve closed at least one meaningful process gap and can demonstrate the before-and-after.
You have a working relationship with regional vendors, legal, and compliance contacts.
You’re proactively managing upcoming lifecycle events rather than reacting to them.
