About Wandering Shepherd
Wandering Shepherd is a livestock technology company building rugged, real-world tools for animal health and performance. We’re a practical, fast-moving team that values clarity, trust, and taking care of people while we scale.
This role is central to our growth: you’ll be the steady, organized backbone for HR operations and day-to-day office life.
What You’ll Do
- HR Operations & Employee Lifecycle
- Own onboarding/offboarding, new-hire setup, employee files, and HR documentation.
- Maintain accurate records in HRIS systems and ensure data is audit-ready.
- Be the first point of contact for employee questions, policies, and workplace support.
- Recruiting & Hiring Support
- Post roles, coordinate candidate flow, schedule interviews, and support hiring managers.
- Keep candidates informed and ensure a smooth, respectful hiring experience.
- Help refine job descriptions and hiring processes as we scale.
- Benefits, Payroll, & Compliance
- Administer benefits enrollment and serve as liaison with providers.
- Support payroll processing and ensure timekeeping accuracy.
- Maintain handbook/policies; track compliance with federal/state/local employment laws.
- Office & Facilities Management
- Run office operations: supplies, vendors, mail/shipping, and facilities coordination.
- Ensure workspaces are safe, stocked, welcoming, and efficient.
- Coordinate equipment setup and access for new hires.
- Plan occasional team meetings/events and support a positive in-office culture.
Why This Role Matters
Our people and our pace matter. You’ll make sure every hire feels set up for success,
every team member feels supported, and our workplace runs cleanly in the background —
so the rest of the company can focus on building and selling great products.
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years in HR, People Ops, office management, or a blended operations role.
- Working knowledge of HR fundamentals: employee relations, benefits, recruiting, compliance.
- Organized, detail-oriented, and good at keeping multiple workstreams moving.
- Clear, kind communicator with strong discretion around sensitive topics.
- Comfortable operating independently in a fast-growing environment.
Nice to Have
- HR certification (SHRM-CP, PHR, or similar).
- Experience in startups or growth-stage companies.
- Familiarity with HRIS/payroll tools (Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR, Paychex, etc.).
- Event planning or employee engagement program experience.
Pay & Benefits
- Competitive salary: $18-22 depending on experience.
- Paid time off + company holidays.
- Professional development support and room to grow into People Ops leadership.
