HRIS Onboarding Specialist (Part Time)

Akiak Enterprise Services, LLC (AES) is an Alaska Native-owned company and a member of the Akiak Holdings family of companies. AES provides professional, administrative, and operational support services to government and commercial clients. We are committed to delivering exceptional service, supporting our customers' missions, and fostering a collaborative environment where employees can grow and succeed.

In this role, you will help keep HR preboarding processes organized, accurate, compliant, and employee focused. The HRIS Onboarding Specialist also leads and coordinates HR technology configurations and workflows, documentation, training, and reporting to improve operational efficiency and support informed workforce decisions. The ideal candidate will have familiarity with the HR environment with skills as a Microsoft SharePoint Site Owner and corresponding workflows.

Responsibilities

• Own onboarding end-to-end. Run pre-boarding — documentation, account setup, background checks, and the data handoffs to Enterprise IT, Payroll, and Workplace — so nothing reaches a new hire half-finished.
• HRIS Onboarding: Support all aspects of onboarding HRIS platforms for new hires, including configuration, workflows, data integrity, documentation processing, orientation planning, and coordination of integrations across the employee lifecycle.
• Recruiting Workflow & PD Automation: Steamline recruiting workflows from PD development and requisition approvals to BambooHR ATS job posting. Leverage SharePoint and Power Automate to improve PD repository management, version control, approval routing, and notifications while reducing duplicate data entry and automating ATS handoffs where feasible. 
• BambooHR Preboarding Optimization: Review, configure, and improve preboarding workflows, automated communications, document collection, task assignments, and data accuracy.
• HR Operations: Provide general administrative support, including assisting with the maintenance of files, updating information in systems, maintaining spreadsheets, and updating forms and departmental lists.
• Automate your own work. Use AI to take the repetitive load off this function — status chasing, packet assembly, provisioning checklists, results of pilot tests — and engage with new hires to find what keeps breaking.

What You'll Bring

• Experience: 2–5 years in people operations, HR coordination, or onboarding at a high-growth tech company, with hands-on HRIS experience using Microsoft SharePoint and BambooHR (preferred).
• Technical Skills: Hands-on experience with SharePoint, Power Automate, and HRIS/ATS workflows.
• Documentation-First Instincts: Your processes are written down, current, and usable by someone else. You turn a repeat question into a knowledge base article instead of answering it twice.
• AI Fluency: You already use tools to increase your leverage, and you reach for automation instinctively rather than as an afterthought.
• White-Glove Judgment: A new hire's first day is a moment that matters and you treat it that way. You handle compensation, credit checks, and personal data with discretion.

Must Have 

• U.S. Citizenship
• Experience standing up or rebuilding an onboarding program, not just running an existing one.
• Experience with CoPilot, SharePoint, or a similar tools.
• 3+ years of experience in a corporate setting.
• High school diploma.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite is required.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills are required.
• Ability to work autonomously and self-direct priorities is required.
• Previous people leadership experience is a plus.
• Experience in orientation facilitation, onboarding and/or events management is desirable.
• Critical thinking and willingness to go the extra mile, giving even the smallest tasks a high level of attention.
