- Lead initiatives focused on engagement, inclusion, learning, and career development
Strategic HR Partnership
- Act as a trusted advisor to leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, and people strategy
- Consult with managers on performance management, coaching, conflict resolution, and team development
- Support change management as the company scales
Compliance & HR Operations
- Ensure compliance with employment laws and best practices (with support from external vendors as needed)
- Oversee benefits administration, compensation benchmarking, and HRIS selection/optimization
- Manage vendor relationships (payroll, benefits, legal, etc.)
- 7–12+ years of progressive HR experience, ideally including time as a Senior HR Manager or Director
- Experience being an early or first HR/People hire, or building programs in a scaling organization
- Strong grounding in HR fundamentals (employee relations, compliance, performance management) paired with strategic thinking
- Proven ability to influence senior leaders and coach managers
- High ownership mentality - comfortable operating hands-on while thinking long-term
- Excellent judgment, discretion, and emotional intelligence
