Job description

ABOUT ABRIDGE Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI-powered platform was purpose-built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients. Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we are setting the industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

THE ROLE Abridge is looking for a People Operations Generalist to join our People team and keep our core People Ops work running smoothly: onboarding, benefits, workers’ comp, compliance, and HR support tickets. You’ll work closely with the Head of People Operations and the rest of the People team to keep things running smoothly and build processes that keep up as we scale. This role suits someone who is proactive, moves fast, and brings solutions instead of questions. They’re resilient when priorities shift, comfortable with ambiguity, and have a bias for action.

Spot data issues and fix them before they cause problems. - Find recurring ticket themes and turn them into self-serve resources or process fixes. Onboarding & Employee Lifecycle - Own new hire onboarding from offer to first day, including paperwork, Rippling setup, and coordination with IT on devices and access. - Make sure every new hire has a smooth, well-organized experience, and keep improving the experience as hiring accelerates. Benefits & Workers’ Comp - Administer employee benefits, including enrollments, qualifying life events, open enrollment, and renewals, and be the first point of contact for employee benefits questions. - Manage workers’ compensation claims from start to finish. Compliance - Manage compliance programs, including audits, harassment prevention training, and other regulatory mandates. - Lead compliance reporting requirements such as EEO-1 and state-specific filings, making sure submissions are on time and accurate. - Maintain internal documentation (policies, calendars, audit trails) and build scalable processes that can flex with our team’s growth. - Support audits and respond to regulatory inquiries with thorough, organized documentation and clear processes. Cross-Functional Partnership - Work with Payroll, Legal, Finance, and IT to give employees a seamless experience. - Jump in wherever there’s an operational gap, and help bring clarity and structure as we grow. WHAT YOU’LL BRING - 3–5 years of experience in People Operations, HR Generalist, or HR Coordinator roles. - Hands-on experience with an HRIS. Rippling is strongly preferred. - Experience administering benefits and managing workers’ comp claims. - Working knowledge of federal and multi-state compliance requirements, including reporting such as EEO-1 and required training mandates. - The ability to prioritize on your own in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift. - A proactive, solutions-first mindset. You notice gaps and fix them without waiting to be asked. - High attention to detail and strong organizational skills. - Excellent written and verbal communication. You can explain HR and compliance topics in a way employees understand. This role is a hybrid position (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) based in San Francisco. WHY WORK AT ABRIDGE?
