Position Summary

Sennos is a fast-moving startup of 65 people and counting, and we’re looking for an HR Coordinator to help us build the people infrastructure that keeps our team running and growing.

This is a hybrid role and an ideal fit for a self-starter who thrives in a generalist environment, enjoys building things from the ground up, and knows how to leverage AI tools to work smarter and move faster.

Help design and build the new hire onboarding program, including materials, checklists, and coordination with cross-functional stakeholders
