BigTime is looking for a full-time People Operations Coordinator to support our Chicago office and partner with our People team. This role blends People Operations coordination with hands-on ownership of the office experience, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both employee-facing work and creating a well-run, welcoming workplace. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who is interested in learning more about HR, recruiting, and talent development, while also gaining hands-on experience in office operations.
In this role, you’ll split your time between supporting day-to-day People Operations work and owning the day-to-day experience of our Chicago office. You’ll play a key role in both employee lifecycle processes and ensuring our workplace runs smoothly and efficiently. This is a hybrid role based at our Chicago headquarters.
This role has two core areas of focus:
People Operations Support

- Support recruitment coordination, including interview scheduling, candidate communication, and onsite interview logistics
- Assist with new hire onboarding, ensuring a smooth and positive employee experience
- Provide support for talent development initiatives, such as training coordination, tracking participation, and organizing learning sessions
- Help maintain People Ops processes, documentation, and internal resources
- Partner with People team members on special projects as needed
Office Experience and Operations
- Serve as the primary on-site point of contact for employees, visitors, and vendors
- Greet and assist visitors, clients, and employees
- Manage office supplies, inventory, mail, and package handling
- Coordinate meeting rooms, catering, and office events
- Maintain office access and security (badges, access codes, keys)
- Support new hire IT onboarding and office setup
- Oversee office equipment maintenance and troubleshoot issues
- Maintain a clean, professional, and welcoming office environment
- Assist with space planning, seating arrangements, and office layouts
- Support team-building activities and culture initiatives
- Take ownership of creating a positive, organized, and efficient in-office employee experience
Why this role is a great fit:
- Hands-on exposure to HR, recruiting, and talent development
- Opportunity to learn People Operations in a growing SaaS company
- Supportive team environment with room to grow
- Ideal stepping stone into a future People Ops, HR, or Recruiting role
Our ideal candidate will have:
- 0–2 years of experience in an administrative, office, or people-focused role (or relevant internships)
- Strong organizational skills and willingness to learn
- Friendly, professional communication style
- High attention to detail and reliability
- Comfortable working independently while knowing when to ask questions
