We operate a free online reading and writing program, www.commonlit.org, that is used by millions of teachers and students worldwide monthly. We are a quickly growing team of passionate professionals – many of whom are former teachers. Our team is now almost 100 full-time employees spread across ~20 states.
About the Role
CommonLit has grown significantly as an organization over the last couple of years. We are looking for an enthusiastic Human Resource Associate to join our team and help take us through the next stage of growth.
The Human Resource Associate will administer HR functions as a key member of the Operations team, collaborating directly with the Chief of Staff and Human Resource Manager. Responsibilities will include assisting with hiring and interview processes, onboarding and offboarding employees, and administering pay, benefits, and leave. The ideal candidate should be excited to join a fast-growing organization and assist with building new systems and processes.
This job is open to remote candidates (CommonLit is a remote team with a headquarters in DC for optional use), but the team begins work at 9AM EST and keeps an East Coast schedule, with some exceptions.
As an equal opportunity employer, CommonLit values having a diverse workforce and continuously strives to maintain an inclusive and equitable workplace. We encourage people with a diverse range of backgrounds to apply. We do not discriminate against any person based upon their race, traits historically associated with race, religion, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy or related medical conditions, parental status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, genetic information, or any other legally protected characteristics.
