Remote HR Coordinator jobs – Full‑Time Remote Position in Lebanon, Tennessee – HR Operations, ATS & Payroll Support – Entry‑Level to Mid‑Level Salary $45‑60k

TITLE:Remote HR Coordinator jobs – Full‑TimeRemote Position in Lebanon, Tennessee – HR Operations, ATS & Payroll Support – Entry‑Level to Mid‑LevelSalary $45‑60k We’re a midsize, privately‑owned firm that partners with a handful of high‑growth startups and established brands—all of which have a strong footprint in Lebanon, Tennessee and rely on us to keep their people processes humming. Over the past 14 months we’ve added three new clients in Lebanon, Tennessee alone, and that growth has created a clear need for a dedicated HR Coordinator who can work remotely while staying plugged into the local nuances of Lebanon, Tennessee’s talent market.In this role you’ll be the connective tissue between hiring managers, candidates, payroll, and our internal HRIS team. Think of yourself as the “first responder” for anything that lands in the HR inbox: a new hire request, a benefits question, a time‑off entry, an employee record update. You’ll own the day‑to‑day flow of information, keep our data clean, and make sure every employee – whether they live in Lebanon, Tennessee or half a world away – feels the same level of consistency and care. --- ### WhyThis Position Exists NowOur client roster grew 27 % YoY, and 68 % of that growth came from companies expanding in the Lebanon, Tennessee region.Those clients have asked for faster onboarding cycles (our current average is 9 days from offer acceptance to first‑day login) and tighter compliance reporting (particularly around remote work tax forms). The senior HR manager, who previously handled coordination as a side‑task, needs a partner who can take the whole coordination function off their plate, allowing them to focus on strategy and talent planning. In short, the volume of onboarding, off‑boarding, and benefits administration has outstripped what a single senior recruiter can comfortably manage.We need a specialist who lives in the world of HR admin, loves the rhythm of a well‑run process, and can do it all from a home office with reliable internet. --- ###The Team You’ll Join - HR Ops Lead (Jane): Sets the weekly priorities, reviews SLA performance, and is the go‑to for any complex compliance questions. - Talent Acquisition Partner (Marco): Works the front end of hiring, passes candidate files to you, and expects a clean handoff. - Benefits Specialist (Lena): Manages health, vision, and retirement plans; you’ll route employee inquiries her way.- Finance & Payroll Analyst (Sam): Coordinates payroll timing, ensures deductions are accurate, and relies on you for up‑to‑date employee status changes. All of us are geographically dispersed, but we meet on Zoom three times a week. Our daily chat lives in Slack, with a dedicated #hr‑coordination channel where we share quick wins and troubleshoot bottlenecks. The culture is “get‑it‑done, then celebrate,” and we keep a running list of “human moments” that remind us why we’re all here. > “I still remember the first time I helped a new hire in Lebanon, Tennessee set up their home office.He was nervous about the Wi‑Fi, we walked through the VPN together, and when his first paycheck hit his account, he sent a gif of a dancing cat. That’s the kind of small win that keeps me smiling.” – Jane, HR Ops Lead --- ### What a Typical Day Looks Like 1.
