Associate HRBP

Cast & Crew is hiring an Associate HRBP to sit at the intersection of HR operations and business partnership to keep the engine of our People & Culture function running smoothly. This role is built for someone who wants real breadth: You'll own the details that make the employee experience run while also developing the business partnership skills that define a long-term HR career.

You'll report to the VP of People Experience and partner cross functionally to keep our processes and programs consistent, compliant, and built to scale. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to lean into varying HR bodies of work, not just process transactions in it.

What you'll do 

• Support HRBP and L&D on performance cycles, engagement surveys, and other People programs 

• Bring creativity to employee engagement: help plan culture moments, recognition programs, and initiatives that make Cast & Crew a great place to work, and partner with our ERGs to support their programming 

• Own day-to-day employee lifecycle components: onboarding, offboarding, support people programs and employee data changes (title, pay, department, manager) 

• Maintain employee data integrity in Workday; build and run reports that HR leadership and other departments rely on 

• Partner with Payroll and Finance to make sure compensation changes and benefit deductions flow through accurately 

• Partner with Legal to draft employment letters, policy documents, and onboarding materials, and manage e-signature workflows 

• Act as a go-to resource for employees related to HR policy, programs and process questions 

• Audit HR practices to remain compliant with federal, California, and local employment law, and maintain accurate records  

• Document and automate HR workflows so processes scale as the company grows 

• Exit interview facilitation 

What you bring 

• 2-3 years in HR, People Operations, or HR Administration 

• Direct experience in Workday (or a comparable HRIS like Rippling or BambooHR), comfortable navigating the system independently and building reports and workflow automation 

• AI Fluency: Familiarity with AI tools (such as Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) and a willingness to integrate them into HR workflows to improve efficiency and support data driven decision-making.

• Experience with onboarding, payroll coordination and HR documentation processes 

• A genuine interest in process improvement and automation 

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple workstreams without losing accuracy 

• Sound judgment handling confidential employee information 

• Comfortable working in ambiguity when a process is still being built, and taking initiative to help build it 

• Clear, professional communication with employees and managers alike 

Nice to have 

• PHR, SHRM-CP, or California HR certification 

• Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
