Head of Employee Relations & HR Compliance

The Role We are building something rare: a platform business with the speed of a startup. You will design the performance systems, build careers, embed culture across teams, and make the whole organization more effective as it scales — starting from strong foundations and evolving them as fast as the business does. You will lead HR operations, develop talent, and sit side by side with leadership to make our flat, team-based model hum without losing the entrepreneurial edge that got us here.

You will set the people agenda across multiple business units around the globe and lead our HR Manager in Belize, and the Generalist in Miami - raising the bar everywhere we operate.

You have built or scaled HR systems inside team-based or agile organizations

Come Build This With Us If you want to build the people function of a platform business — with the scope, the autonomy, and the leadership access to make it real — we would love to talk.
