About Amplify Capital

Amplify Capital is a Denver-based private equity firm providing opportunistic growth capital across businesses, real estate and other high-conviction investments. We partner with proven operators and established businesses ready to scale. We are a lean, hands-on team and expect every team member to operate with ownership, integrity, sound judgment and a bias toward focused execution.

Mission of the Role

The Human Resources Generalist will coordinate day-to-day HR operations across Amplify Capital, EverForge Holdings and their respective portfolio companies, including businesses acquired or formed in the future. This is a hands-on role for a developing HR professional who can maintain practical systems, support managers and deliver reliable day-to-day service throughout the employee lifecycle, with guidance from firm leadership and outside HR and legal advisors.

Working directly with a designated leadership sponsor and portfolio-company operators, you will maintain practical, repeatable HR processes, help managers apply approved policies consistently and identify staffing needs and employee concerns early. Firm leadership will approve workforce budgets and consequential employment decisions. Outside advisors will support complex legal and employee relations matters, with a clear escalation path for urgent concerns.
