Wonolo (Work Now Locally) is disrupting the $140BN temporary staffing industry. Founded in 2014, Wonolo's mission is to help people find consistent work. Through our two-sided tech marketplace, we connect hundreds of businesses in need of front-line workers with 2 million underemployed workers in local markets across the United States, within minutes. Wonolo has raised over $200M in funding which will continue to help us empower the in-demand workforce by democratizing access to flexible work, opportunities to learn new skills, a living wage, and comprehensive portable benefits and perks.
We're looking for a Senior HR Generalist to join Wonolo's People team. This is a hands-on, full-scope role for someone who genuinely likes wearing multiple hats — one week you might be deep in a benefits question, the next you're auditing pay equity data, drafting a new policy, or jumping in to help Recruiting push through a hiring surge. You'll be a key operator on a lean team, which means real ownership and real visibility into how People work shapes the company.
This is a great fit for someone who's energized by modern ways of working, including using AI tools to work smarter, not just faster.
We welcome qualified candidates located anywhere in the United States #LI-Remote.
