People & Culture Assistant

About the role

Culture Conductor. You're the kind of person who can pull together a team event, prep a new hire's first week, update an internal process, answer three culture inbox questions, and remember the birthday card nobody else thought about - all before your second coffee. You notice the little things. You spot the loose ends. You sense when someone needs extra support. And when chaos starts creeping in? You don't panic. You organize it into submission. Sound like you? We're looking for a People & Culture Assistant who loves supporting people, coordinating culture initiatives, improving internal systems, and keeping the behind-the-scenes details running smoothly so everyone feels supported, celebrated, and set up for success. Small print ⇒ If you think culture is the hairy thing growing on old yogurt, this isn't the job for you. We're looking for someone who can communicate with warmth and professionalism, keep operational details from slipping through the cracks, and bring real care to the everyday employee experience. Someone who treats onboarding like a first impression that matters. Someone who gets excited about streamlined SOPs, organized systems, thoughtful employee communications, and culture programs that make people feel genuinely appreciated. If updating internal processes, managing employee communications, supporting employee lifecycle, tracking leave, organizing engagement activities, and keeping confidential information handled properly sounds painfully boring... this probably won't be your dream job. But if that sounds deeply satisfying? Keep reading. This job will give you ALL the feels: At AlgaeCal, we're driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. The good news? AlgaeCal has the world's only clinically-supported natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you'll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal. This job might be for you if you've got... A built-in people radar: You're emotionally intelligent, adaptable, and people-smart. You can communicate professionally with executives, teammates, vendors, new hires, and departing employees alike. You know when to be warm, when to be direct, when to follow up, and when to simply listen. And above all - you genuinely enjoy helping people succeed. A brain that alphabetizes chaos: Messy folders bother you. Outdated documents annoy you. Unclear processes make your eye twitch. You naturally build systems, maintain structure, and improve processes because your brain is wired for operational excellence. You enjoy keeping files organized, leave tracking updated, internal documents accurate, and processes documented so everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. A knack for making people feel like they matter: You understand that culture lives in the small moments. The thoughtful onboarding experience. The birthday celebration. The anniversary recognition. The team-building event people actually enjoy attending. The employee who feels supported during a difficult moment. You genuinely care about creating a workplace where people feel welcomed, connected, and appreciated - and you love being part of the team that makes that happen. A "first day should feel special" philosophy: You know a new hire's first few days matter. A lot. You understand that onboarding is more than paperwork and passwords. It's the first real impression someone gets of the company they just joined. You'll help support onboarding admin, training coordination, values introductions, IT setup, company and product education, and internal SOPs so every new AlgaeBud feels prepared, confident, and excited to be here. A motor that doesn't need micromanaging: You're proactive. You follow up. You communicate clearly. You keep projects moving without needing constant reminders. Whether it's onboarding administration, employee communications, leave tracking, handbook updates, office management support, OH&S support, or employee engagement activities - you take ownership and make things happen. A personal vendetta against dropped balls: You don't let things slip. You track deadlines. You remember follow-ups. You update the document. You close the loop. You maintain confidentiality and professionalism because you understand that trust is built through consistency and reliability. People feel calmer when you're involved because they know things will get handled properly. A "there has to be a better way" reflex: You don't just maintain systems. You improve them. You enjoy documenting SOPs, optimizing workflows, refining internal processes, and helping teams operate more efficiently. You're always looking for ways to create smoother experiences for both employees and leadership. A sixth sense for the stuff everyone else forgets: You understand that a great workplace experience depends on more than big culture initiatives. It also depends on
