About Compass

Compass is a globally distributed BPO redefining modern customer experience. We operate at the intersection of automation and human empathy.

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Strong ability to leverage workforce analytics to curb attrition, improve labor efficiency, and forecast talent needs.
• HRIS Fluency: Deep familiarity with modern HR tech stacks. Knowledge of UKG is a strong plus.

What We Offer

• True Autonomy: The opportunity to build and shape the People function of a rapidly growing global company from the ground up.
• Ultimate Flexibility: A 100% remote, work-from-anywhere (within the US) environment.
• Competitive Compensation: A strong base salary and comprehensive benefits tailored for a modern workforce.
• Dynamic Culture: A fast-paced, low-ego, and highly collaborative executive team that values innovation and speed.
