People & Culture Coordinator

People & Culture Coordinator Calyx Containers | Salt Lake City, UT | Full-Time, On-Site | Reports to the President Compensation is competitive and we share the full range in the first conversation. About Calyx Calyx Containers is a 10-year-old packaging innovation company primarily serving the cannabis industry from Salt Lake City. We design, manufacture, and source compliant packaging through a hybrid model that combines our own domestic digital manufacturing facility with an international partner sourcing network. This year we launched Calyx Command, our new digital quoting and ordering platform, and we are rebuilding how this company works from the inside out: more automation, more leverage per person, and bigger jobs for the people who grow with it. We want to be the employer top talent in Salt Lake talks about - and this role helps us build exactly that. The Role You will be the heartbeat of the employee experience at Calyx - the person who makes this an amazing place to work and makes sure everyone outside the building knows it. You will own our culture calendar, our employer brand, our candidate and new-hire experience, and the office itself, while running the day-to-day people operations that keep a 60-person company humming. You report directly to the President. This is a high-potential role, not a caretaker role. Calyx is mid-transformation: we are adopting AI-enabled productivity in every department, and the people who lean in are getting more opportunity to grow their career, faster. Your mission is to make that transition visible, celebrated, and exciting - and to build a workplace and employer reputation strong enough to attract and keep the kind of people who thrive in it. Do this well and this role grows with you: the path from here leads to owning the entire People function. What You Own - Culture and team events. Plan and run the events, rituals, celebrations, and recognition programs that make people proud to work here - on a real budget, executed with real creativity. - Employer brand. Make Calyx a magnet: careers page content, LinkedIn presence, milestone stories, and a candidate experience people mention in interviews elsewhere. - The office itself. Own the space: supplies, snacks, vendors, and the ongoing buildout that turns our HQ into a place that impresses candidates and energizes the team. - Recruiting coordination. Run the hiring engine: post roles, screen resumes, schedule interviews, keep candidates warm, and make every applicant feel respected, fast. - Onboarding. Deliver a first week people tell their friends about - equipment ready, plan written, standards clear from day one. - AI-productivity champion. Organize trainings, share wins, and spotlight the people leveling up with AI so the whole company sees the transition as the opportunity it is. - People operations. Keep employee records, Gusto data, and the org chart clean and current; support benefits enrollment and answer day-to-day questions. - Performance cadence. Run the calendar and tracking for reviews and check-ins so no conversation gets skipped and no paperwork goes missing. - Offboarding logistics. Handle exits with respect and precision - equipment, access, exit interviews, and clean files. Your First 90 Days - Day 30: You know every employee by name, the office runs without anyone asking, and you have shipped your first team event people actually talked about. - Day 60: Onboarding is rebuilt and documented, open roles have organized pipelines, and the careers page finally looks like the company we are. - Day 90: The culture calendar is set for two quarters, the first AI-productivity spotlight series has run, and candidates are mentioning our reputation unprompted. Who You Are - An energy source. People feel the difference when you are in the building, and things you touch get more organized, not less. - A natural host and planner. You have run events, programs, or projects people remember, and you sweat the details that make them…
