Additional Information

The Team + The Role The People Operations team is the connective tissue between Pendo's workforce strategy and the day-to-day experience of every employee. The team owns the systems, processes, and programs that help the business scale effectively, from onboarding and benefits administration to HR data integrity and compliance. This is a lean, high-throughput function where every team member owns a meaningful part of the People infrastructure. The People Operations Analyst sits at the intersection of employee experience and operational rigor. This role owns a defined set of HR processes end-to-end, including new hire coordination, employee lifecycle events, HRIS transactions, reporting, and People Operations issue resolution. The role works closely with Finance, Legal, and Talent Acquisition and is expected to identify and close operational gaps before they create friction for employees or the business. This role is based in our Raleigh office. What this looks like day-to-day Employee lifecycle coordination: Manage employment lifecycle transactions in Workday or an equivalent HRIS, including new hires, transfers, promotions, terminations, and leave events. Ensure records are accurate, timely, and complete before payroll cut-off. Onboarding delivery: Coordinate and facilitate new hire onboarding end-to-end, including I-9 verification, system provisioning requests, Day 1 scheduling, and 30-day check-ins. Track completion and escalate blockers before they affect the new hire experience. HR data and reporting: Support the accuracy of employee data in Workday and maintain recurring People reports. Use AI to accelerate data synthesis, surface anomalies, and flag discrepancies before they compound. Ticketing and issue resolution: Process People Operations Tier 1 and Tier 2 tickets with clear, timely follow-through. Recommend documentation or process improvements that reduce repeat questions and improve the employee experience.
