ABOUT HUT 8
Imagine the ultimate destination for those who want to work at the cutting edge of technology, energy, and infrastructure. Hut 8 is on a mission to build and operate some of the world’s largest data centers for next-generation computing workloads, including AI, Colocation, Cloud, and Bitcoin Mining. We are proud to offer interesting and challenging opportunities for individuals who want to build teams, solve problems, and make an impact from day one. If you’re an ambitious individual looking for a career that is as rewarding as it is challenging, you’ve come to the right place.
About the role
As the Principal, People Operations, you will own the transactional and compliance backbone of the employee experience: every hire in, every change during, every exit out, recorded right the first time and defensible when someone asks for the evidence. You are hands-on on a small People team supporting HQ plus multiple sites across several states.
Responsibilities
What you’ll ownLifecycle execution: Onboarding end to end (paperwork, I-9, background checks, system setup, Day 1, relocation) and offboarding end to end (separation docs, access removal, equipment, final pay, termination workflows).
HRIS & records: All lifecycle changes in the HRIS (promotions, transfers, title, comp, manager, LOA) and complete, retained employee records.
Employment compliance & separation paperwork: Prepares termination letters and separation documentation, processes resignation paperwork, and produces employee records when Legal requests them. Multi-state compliance: notices, I-9s, recordkeeping, state-specific documentation, compliance calendar.
Leave, benefits & payroll: LOA administration with providers, benefits enrollment support with Total Rewards, and pay-impacting changes delivered ahead of payroll cutoff.
Employee service & policy: First point of contact, the People shared inbox and request queue to SLA, verifications and letters, handbook, knowledge base and templates.
Audit readiness & reporting: AuditBoard ownership (evidence, audit responses, remediation), recurring audits of employee data and files, and metrics on completion, SLAs and open items.
Process & partnering: Spots recurring gaps and manual work and proposes fixes. Partners with Payroll, Benefits, Recruiting, IT, Finance, Legal and People Systems.
Minimum qualifications
. 4+ years in People / HR Operations with personal ownership of both onboarding and offboarding.
. Hands-on HRIS transactions (Workday, UKG, ADP, Paylocity, BambooHR or similar): you processed the changes, not requested them.
. Direct I-9 verification and I-9 recordkeeping experience.
. Multi-state US employment administration, including state-specific documentation and notices.
. Employee records and personnel files kept to a standard that holds up when someone asks for evidence.
. Intermediate Excel or Sheets: lookups, pivots, reconciliation between two systems.
. Proven discretion with comp, medical, leave and separation information.
. Writes clearly enough that an employee-facing letter or policy goes out without a rewrite.
. In office in Brickell, with occasional same-day turnaround.
Preferred qualifications
. Public company, high-growth, or multi-site, especially one that hired into new states fast.
. Has been on the responding side of an audit (internal, external, SOX, I-9, benefits) and owned the evidence.
. AuditBoard or a comparable controls platform.
. Supported an hourly or site-based population alongside corporate.
. LOA administration with an external provider (Sedgwick, Lincoln, MetLife), including FMLA and state leave.
