At Huckleberry, our purpose is simple yet powerful: to build life-changing products and experiences that help all families unlock everyday magic.
Today, more than 5 million families trust Huckleberry and our app to be their partner through parenthood. Real pediatric expertise works hand-in-hand with data science, AI, and behavioral science to provide support behind-the-scenes that guides every parent through their unique journey.
We believe every family should feel taken care of—which is why we’re growing quickly and expanding our product offerings to help every family thrive.

We’re looking for an experienced HR Generalist to join Huckleberry on a part-time contract basis (10 - 20 hours per week, 1099). This is a dual-hat role that blends traditional HR with people operations, ideal for someone who is equally comfortable navigating legal compliance as they are designing the systems and processes that shape how teams work, grow, and thrive.
You’ll help keep our people practices grounded, fair, and forward-thinking. From owning our performance feedback cycle end-to-end to handling sensitive employee relations with discretion and care, you will build the infrastructure that enables Huckleberry’s team to do their best work.

Run the rollout and ongoing management of performance feedback cycles, including building the process, managing all communications, tracking completion, and facilitating follow-ups.
Partner with team managers to set up systems that make team development consistent and effective, ensuring managers are equipped to lead performance conversations.
Support employee engagement by identifying patterns, surfacing root causes, and proactively recommending improvements to how the team works together.
