About the Role
We’re looking for a highly adaptable, execution-focused People Operations & Development Coordinator to support and continuously improve the full employee lifecycle - from recruiting and hiring through onboarding, training, and ongoing development.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, and Learning & Development. You won’t just coordinate processes – you will own them, improve them, and step in wherever needed to keep things moving.
Our environment is fast-paced and often evolving. Priorities can shift quickly, and not every situation will come with a clear playbook. Success in this role requires sound judgment, strong decision-making, and the ability to take action, learn quickly, and adjust course when needed.
You will play a critical role in ensuring employees meet all California BSIS and Private Patrol Operator (PPO) compliance standards, client-specific requirements, and internal performance expectations - while helping build scalable, efficient people processes that support company growth.
What You’ll Do
Recruiting & Hiring (~20%)
- Own day-to-day execution of recruiting operations, ensuring roles move efficiently from opening to offer
- Coordinate job postings, candidate screening, and interview logistics with a strong focus on speed and candidate experience
- Partner with hiring managers to drive structured, consistent, and effective interview processes
- Proactively manage candidate pipelines and anticipate hiring needs
- Prepare and issue offer letters and pre-employment documentation with accuracy and urgency
- Track and analyze recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, conversion rates) and identify areas for improvement
- Own and continuously improve the onboarding experience from offer acceptance through job readiness
- Build structured, repeatable onboarding processes while adapting to real-time needs and constraints
- Facilitate new hire orientation and ensure all compliance and documentation requirements are completed on time
- Partner with managers to ensure clear onboarding plans and accountability for 30/60/90-day milestones
- Act quickly to resolve onboarding gaps or issues to ensure a smooth employee experience
- Lead coordination and delivery of training programs to meet CA BSIS, PPO, and client-specific requirements
- Facilitate engaging in-person and virtual training sessions; adapt delivery style based on audience and situation
- Identify training gaps and take initiative to improve content, format, and delivery methods
- Track and enforce training completion, certifications, and renewals with a high level of accountability
- Partner closely with the Qualified Manager (QM) and HR to ensure full regulatory compliance at all times
- Step in quickly to address urgent compliance or training issues and drive them to resolution
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records across HR systems
- Ensure compliance with I-9s, certifications, audits, and internal documentation standards
- Support performance management processes and employee documentation
- Respond to employee inquiries with professionalism, clarity, and urgency
- Assist with offboarding and ensure clean, compliant transitions
- Support safety training initiatives and compliance tracking across the organization
- Maintain and improve dashboards and reporting tools (HRIS, Excel, Google Sheets)
- Deliver regular reporting on hiring, training, and compliance metrics with actionable insights
- Identify inefficiencies and take initiative to improve processes and workflows
- Support cross-functional projects and step into operational needs as they arise
