Job Description

Moodle with us!

At Moodle, we’re on a mission to empower educators and learners worldwide with open, flexible, and innovative digital learning solutions. As the world’s most customisable and trusted open-source LMS, we partner with schools, universities, and organisations to create better learning experiences for millions. If you’re ready to make a real impact, and be part of a global movement shaping the future of learning, join us. Let's transform education together!

About the role

As our People & Culture Advisor, you’ll join a global People & Culture team that supports more than 280 team members in over 25 countries. You’ll be the go-to HR advisor for our team members and managers in the US, and you’ll support US payroll and coordinate benefits administration.

Reporting to the Head of People Operations (who is based in Australia), and working closely with a small team of P&C Business Partners around the world, you’ll also work on global people processes. That includes recruiting for roles around the world, onboarding new starters, running our HR systems and supporting culture and engagement initiatives. It’s a true generalist role with a lot of variety. This role would suit someone who knows US employment law well and wants to build their career in an international organization.

What You'll Do

Most days in this role involve a mix of:

• Advising team members and managers on policies, leave, benefits and day-to-day people questions.
• Driving end-to-end recruitment on a global scale, supporting hiring managers and ensuring a great candidate experience
• Managing onboarding processes so new team members get a smooth start, wherever they are located.
• Coaching managers through general ER issues (e.g. probation reviews and informal performance, conduct and attendance concerns) and know when to escalate complex cases.
• Act as SME on US federal and state employment requirements
• Coordinating US benefits administration: enrollments, qualifying life events, open enrollment, the annual broker review, and helping team members understand and use their benefits throughout the year.
• Working with Finance to process semi-monthly US payroll, including commissions, bonuses, final paychecks, garnishments and new state registrations.
• Maintaining our HR systems, driving our global HR processes and looking for ways to improve them.
• Opportunity to support L&D, OD and engagement initiatives on a global scale.

We’d love to meet you

Especially if you can tell us about your:

• Strong HR generalist experience, including direct experience supporting a US workforce. Bonus if it’s within the tech industry and/or a remote-first organization.
• Solid working knowledge of US federal and state employment laws, and experience applying them in practice. Multi-state experience is a big plus.
• Hands-on experience coordinating US benefits and payroll processes (e.g. health plans, 401(k), open enrollment).
• Experience advising on employee relations matters and coaching managers through sensitive conversations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to quickly build trust and credibility with people at every level.
• Strong attention to detail, a sense of urgency, and the ability to organize and prioritize your own workload in a remote environment.
• Confidence with HR and recruitment systems (BambooHR experience is a bonus).
• Experience in a global or multi-location organization, working across time zones, paired with cultural awareness to adapt your style to effectively bridge differences
• Experience contributing to engagement initiatives and building a positive workplace culture.
• Experience working within security compliance frameworks such as FedRAMP and SOC2 is a plus (but not required).

What's in it for you?

Moodle has a globally diverse team with over 280 team members in more than 25 countries around the world.
