jerry.ai People Operations & Compliance Specialist at jerry.ai manages multi-state compliance, policy drafting, and escalated payroll and benefits questions. Leads compliance audits and rearchitects HR operations with an AI-native mindset.
Responsibilities
This isn't a role where you're processing paperwork and waiting for direction. You'll own the parts of HR operations that actually require judgment: multi-state compliance, policy drafting, and the payroll and benefits questions that come up when the answer isn't in a handbook. You've done this kind of work before, in-house, hands-on, and you're ready to be the person others come to when something's more complicated than usual.
You'll also have a real say in how AI fits into HR ops here, spending less time on the repetitive stuff and more time on the judgment calls that need a person.
What you'll own:
Multi-state compliance: tracking state-by-state law changes, drafting policy updates, and making sure they're actually implemented (not just written) across every employee classification and pay range
Our annual compliance audit and handbook refresh, yours to lead start to finish, in your first 90 days
Escalated payroll, benefits, and leave questions that need a more experienced hand
Reviewing and unblocking the work of our Payroll and HR Administration team members
Rearchitecting our HR ops processes with an AI-native mindset, not just using AI tools, but rethinking how the function should work
Growing into ownership of day-to-day HR operations management over time
