• Be comfortable spending long periods in front of a computer screen—spreadsheets, emails, and HR systems are part of the magic!
• Travel: Not typically required, other than local errands/meetings that may occur.
• Core business hours are 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, but as a People & Culture pro, you know that sometimes support is needed outside of traditional hours (we see you, last-minute onboarding and unexpected team needs!).
