Join BioHackHaus as Our Head of People & Operations

Are you ready to build something extraordinary from the ground up? BioHackHaus, an innovative biohacking company breaking into multiple markets, is looking for a driven and visionary Head of People & Operations to help us scale from a small founding team into a thriving organization. If you thrive in ambiguity, love creating systems from scratch, and have a passion for people and operations, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

As our first Head of People & Operations , you'll be a key architect of our company's growth. This is not a role where you'll inherit existing playbooks—you'll be writing them. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing the foundational systems, processes, and culture that will enable our team to operate at its best. From hiring and onboarding to organizational design and operational excellence, your work will touch every corner of BioHackHaus.

• Design and lead our hiring process : Manage sourcing, create interviewing frameworks, draft offer letters, and oversee onboarding.
• Build our people foundation : Establish performance reviews, 1:1 cadences, compensation philosophies, and career pathways.
• Develop our operating system : Oversee weekly leadership meetings, quarterly planning, RACI documentation, and tool selection.
• Partner with leadership : Work closely with the CEO and cofounder to align strategy with organizational design and staffing plans.
• Ensure HR compliance : Manage HR policies, I-9s, benefits administration, and employee relations for a Texas-based company.
• Coach managers : Help managers transition from individual contributors to effective team leaders.
• Manage vendor relationships : Oversee benefits, payroll, and HR tech vendors.
• Support workplace setup : Lead the transition from remote to hybrid work in Q4, including office setup and workplace experience.

• Experience : 6+ years in People, HR, or Operations roles, with at least 2 years at an early-stage company (Seed to Series B).
• Builder mindset : Proven track record of creating people functions and systems from scratch.
• Comfort with ambiguity : Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, undefined environment.
• Operational expertise : Strong instincts for creating systems like RACIs, meeting cadences, and clear ownership structures.
• Knowledge of Texas employment law : Familiarity with compliance basics.
• Coaching skills : A supportive mindset for developing managers and individual contributors.
• Excellent written communication : Ability to document processes and systems effectively.

• Experience in wellness, hospitality, health, or premium consumer brands.
• SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP certification.
• Prior experience managing office setups or workplace design.
