People Operations Assistant
Owning the day-to-day engine that keeps our people and workplace running without friction
At Inriver, we help brands deliver better product experiences — wherever their customers are. From the first product detail to the final purchase decision, we make product information work smarter.

This role is designed for someone who thinks in systems, communicates with clarity, and takes genuine pride in execution. You'll work closely with the HRBP for 70% of your people responsibilities and the Location Manager for 30% of your administrative responsibilities - to deliver a consistent, professional, and people and admin quality support.
