AI Fluency: Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes.

Skills & Experience – Core 1-3 years of experience in People Operations, HR, or a related operations/compliance role (startup or high-growth experience a plus). Strong process orientation, comfortable building and following SOPs, and improving them over time. Experience with (or quick to learn) background check platforms and compliance tracking. Familiarity with vendor evaluation/rollout processes. Comfort handling sensitive information (e.g., accommodations, background checks) with discretion and professionalism. Strong written and verbal communication skills, you'll often be the first response to employee questions. Ability to manage multiple concurrent processes in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Comfortability working with AI tools/systems (e.g., piloting AI-assisted employee support). Compensation & Benefits $95,000-$115,000 per year plus equity.
