Human resources jobs in Austin, TX

About the role

This is a builder's role. You'll take full ownership of our HR systems, records, and workflows: standardizing them, strengthening them, and continuously improving how they run. You'll make sure the data, the paperwork, the process, and the system of record are accurate, current, and built to scale. You'll be part systems owner, part process architect, part detail-obsessed operator, and 100% focused on giving Lightspeed an HR foundation that holds up. This position is hybrid and requires several days on site each week at our Austin, TX headquarters.

What you'll bring

• 3–5 years of experience in an HR administrative, HR operations, HRIS, or generalist role with heavy systems and process ownership, not just checklist execution.
• A demonstrated track record of building and strengthening HR systems and processes independently.
• Strong HRIS/ATS experience: comfortable configuring, auditing, and maintaining data integrity in HR systems.
• Sharp attention to detail and a documentation-first instinct: you naturally build the SOP and make processes repeatable rather than relying on memory alone.
• Working knowledge of core HR compliance requirements (I-9, FMLA/leave basics, recordkeeping).
• Self-starter energy and a fast, independent learning style.
• You don't need a training plan or a lot of handholding
• you dig in, find the answer, and figure out the tool or process on your own before asking.
• Comfort with HR technology and genuine curiosity about AI.
• You're not waiting for a workshop to figure out how tools like Claude/ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI platforms can make you sharper.
• Clear, precise written communication: you can write a policy, SOP, or process doc that people can understand and follow.
