Human Resources Generalist

DEPARTMENT: Human Resources

JOB TYPE: Full-Time

LOCATION: Johns Creek, GA (Hybrid)

REPORTS TO: HR Manager

SUMMARY: Founded in 2014, Zywie is a full-suite, remote cardiac monitoring company specializing in wearable biosensor devices and cloud-based data analytic solutions. Zywies flagship product is the ZywieNano patch, a small band-aid-like patch that patients wear on their chest to continuously monitor their hearts electrical activity for up to 30 days. The data collected by the ZywieNano patch is sent to Zywies cloud-based platform, where it is analyzed by algorithms to provide insights into a patients heart rhythm and potential cardiac conditions.

The Human Resources Generalist is a hands-on, broad-scope role supporting the full employee lifecycle across Zywie's multi-state, remote workforce. Partnering closely with the Manager of Human Resources, this individual will deliver day-to-day HR operations while helping mature the systems, processes, and documentation that scale with the business.

This is a knowledge-worker role for someone who applies judgment, not just process. Zywie's HR function is small by design and high-leverage by necessity: the Generalist will own real work end to end, exercise independent decision-making within established policy, and have direct visibility to leaders. This is an ideal opportunity for an HR professional who wants breadth, autonomy, and the chance to help build a function rather than maintain one.
