Position Summary

GuestTek is looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented administrative professional to join our People & Culture team as a Global Employee Success & People Assistant. This role suits someone who likes keeping things running smoothly, manages many moving pieces at once, and takes pride in getting the details right.

You'll work directly with our HR Business Partners to make sure every employee's onboarding, change, and exit process is completed properly and nothing falls through the cracks. You'll be a friendly point of contact for new employees as they get set up. You'll also support the Executive Leadership Team by handling their administrative workflows, including SharePoint and Replicon approvals.

No formal HR experience is required. If you have strong administrative or coordination experience and are comfortable with confidential information, we'll teach you the HR side.
