About VeroTouch

VeroTouch exists to change how homes are built.

We are a venture-backed construction technology company reimagining residential construction by combining advanced manufacturing, robotics, and traditional building expertise. At a time when housing affordability, labor shortages, and inefficiency continue to plague our industry, VeroTouch is focused on building better, faster, and smarter.

Our work sits at the intersection of construction and technology. We design and operate systems that integrate 3D printing, advanced materials, and lean production principles into real-world job sites. This is not a theoretical exercise. We are actively building homes, learning in real time, and turning those experiences into repeatable and scalable operating models.

VeroTouch is early-stage, hands-on, and execution-driven. The people who thrive here are builders in every sense of the word. They take ownership, stay calm under pressure, and care deeply about outcomes. If you are excited by challenges, energized by responsibility, and motivated by the opportunity to help define the future of an industry that rarely changes, you will feel at home here.

Position Summary

The Human Resources Specialist at VeroTouch is a pivotal early-career role designed for an ambitious HR professional ready to grow fast and own real outcomes. You will support the full spectrum of HR functions: talent acquisition, employee relations, compliance, onboarding, and culture in a hands-on, startup-like environment where your contributions will be immediately visible. Reporting to executive leadership, this role is built for someone with approximately 3 years of generalist HR experience who is eager to operate with increasing autonomy, take on expanded responsibilities quickly, and develop a clear path toward an HR Manager role or beyond within a short timeframe. You do not need to have all the answers today, but you need to be hungry, resourceful, and willing to roll up your sleeves alongside a team building something that has never been built before.
