Senior HR Generalist

Little more about the team:

The People Team at Honeycomb is focused on building a scalable, human-centered employee experience that supports a fully distributed workforce. We’ve moved past “build-from-scratch” mode and are now focused on optimizing, simplifying, and maturing our People Operations function to support our growing company. This role sits right at the center of that work.

As an Sr. People Operations Generalist, you'll partner closely with our Manager, People Operations and a small but impactful team to ensure our systems, processes, and programs are clear, efficient, and easy to use. This is a hands-on engagement for someone who thrives in an environment where the foundation is in place and the opportunity is in refining, evolving, and driving meaningful change thoughtfully.

What you’ll do in the role:

Employee Lifecycle

• Support people success, as point of contact to managers and team members including internal mobility, compensation/bonuses, benefits support, grievances, accessibility & accommodation, job information changes, etc
• Serve as the operational backbone for people data and documentation maintaining HRIS employee records, contracts, amendments, and policies with a high bar for accuracy, integrity, and compliance.
• In partnership with people programs, support improvement and implementation of people lifecycle processes and programs including onboarding, reviews, promotions/bonus, mobility, succession planning, and exits.

Benefits & Perks Administration

• Support benefit enrollments alongside our broker, including employee communications, vendor coordination, and data accuracy in our HRIS.

• Use employee feedback to measure, iterate, and maximize the value of a competitive benefits and perks program that employees actively use and appreciate.

Compliance & HR Operations

• Ensure Honeycomb remains compliant with federal and state employment laws, including FMLA/CFRA, ADA, FLSA, and pay transparency requirements. Build predictable workstreams and roll out communications to ensure proactive preparation for compliance needs coming up.
• Maintain accurate and confidential employee records; own HR data integrity across our systems.
• Develop, update, and communicate HR policies and the employee handbook as the company evolves.
• Partner with team leadership, legal counsel, and outside advisors on employment matters, immigration support, and classification questions.

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR generalist and operations-focused responsibilities
• Experience supporting global HR functions (U.S., UK, Canada preferred)
• Strong knowledge of HR laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
• Proven ability to implement scalable HR processes in a fast-growing environment
• Proficiency in HRIS and EOR systems (preferrably Rippling and Remote)
