Onboarding Specialist - Effectual
The Employee Onboarding Specialist is a newly created role at Effectual, designed to own the day-to-day operational execution of our employee onboarding program. As we scale, consistency and quality in how we welcome and integrate new hires is critical — both to the employee experience and to our ability to deliver for clients.
This role sits within the HR team and works closely with the HR Generalist, who serves as the Onboarding Program Owner. You will be the primary point of contact for new hires from offer acceptance through their 90-day milestone, ensuring every person who joins Effectual feels supported, informed, and set up for success.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who is organized, people-oriented, and energized by building something from the ground up.
