People Operations Support Specialist

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

E-Space is growing rapidly and the People function is scaling with it. As headcount increases across multiple US states and international locations, we need dedicated operational ownership of the back-office HR infrastructure that makes everything else work. This role owns the more complex, compliance-heavy domain: the systems and processes that sit underneath the employee experience and that need to be accurate, timely, and audit-ready.

This is a new role on the People team, based in Arlington, TX alongside our current People Operations Support Specialist. Together, the two roles form the operational backbone of the People function, each with a distinct remit. The specific portfolio for this role will include: benefits administration, payroll coordination, immigration, compliance reporting, compensation administration, and state agency management for leaves and payroll tax and workers compensation administration.

You will work closely with Finance, external counsel, and benefits and insurance brokers, and support the Head of People on benchmarking, reporting and compliance filings. You will not have a formal client-facing HR remit, as this is an operations and systems role, but you will need to be comfortable navigating complexity, managing competing deadlines, and building process in an environment that is still maturing.
