People Operations Specialist

About Us

We started InCommon in 2023 to help great talent find opportunities at global companies. Think of us as the team that builds high-quality teams for mid-sized global businesses. Backed by Better Capital, we care about doing this with honesty, speed, and care — for the people we hire and the companies we work with.

About the Role

When someone joins InCommon, their experience from that moment onwards is shaped by you.

This role is about creating clarity, warmth, and trust across the employee journey — from onboarding to day-to-day support to the relationship with the client. It’s also about building systems that make this experience repeatable as we grow.

Yes, you’ll handle the operations — onboarding, payroll coordination, documentation, benefits, client updates — but the real job is making sure people feel looked after, understood, and confident in the process.

This is People + Experience + Systems.

Who This Is For

• You like taking responsibility and being the person people rely on.
• You are warm but clear. Kind but firm. Professional without being robotic.
• You’re organized, you follow through, and you care when things are done well.
• You’re curious about how companies and teams work.
• You want to help shape the culture of an early-stage company, not just maintain it.

What You’ll Do

• Welcome new employees and set them up for success — the first 30 days matter a lot.
• Coordinate payroll, benefits, reimbursements, and policies with care and accuracy.
• Maintain ongoing communication with employees — you’re the person they trust to come to.
• Keep clients updated in a clear, calm, dependable way — no surprises.
• Create and improve internal processes so things get easier and better each quarter.
• Represent InCommon’s tone and values in every interaction — thoughtful, precise, human.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Strong written communication — clear, grounded, and personable.
• A sense of ownership — if something needs to be done, you get it done.
• You care about the details (because people feel the details).
• You enjoy making experiences smoother for others.
• You take pride in being consistent.
