Mission
Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.
In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.
Role Purpose

This is a high-ownership role on a small team — the work is detail-oriented and process-driven, with real visibility into how we build People infrastructure as we grow from ~100 to 300+ employees.
What you'll do in the first 6-12 Months
Run bi-weekly US payroll end-to-end via ADP Workforce Now, across a multi-state footprint
Manage Workday transactions: new hire onboarding, employee data changes, offboarding, and ongoing record accuracy
Own knowledge base documentation in SharePoint (and later Atomicwork): employee-facing guides, internal process docs, and partner resources for HRBPs and Recruiting
Support state payroll registrations as we expand into new jurisdictions
Flag process gaps and help build the systems and guides that close them
Minimum Requirements
6-8 years in payroll and HR generalist operations roles
Hands-on experience running multi-state payroll (NYC and California required); ADP Workforce Now experience preferred
AI fluency is key, we want someone who can manage and design the payroll process that will sustain the growth we need
Workday proficiency at the transaction level (data entry, employee records)
Strong attention to detail and comfort owning recurring, high-stakes processes
Clear written communication — you'll be writing docs that employees rely on
Based in NYC, able to work in-office two days per week
