Your Role

We’re growing. And as we scale, we need someone to help us keep our people experience just as strong as our product. You’ll be the go-to person for all things people experience  – from hiring and onboarding to performance, compliance, culture, and development. You’ll work closely with the leadership team and have a direct hand in shaping how we hire, grow, and support our team.

This isn’t a back-office HR job. It’s a high-impact, high-trust role where you’ll help build the future of our company – not just maintain it.

Hiring & Onboarding
  • Lead end-to-end hiring for key roles across functions

  • Work closely with hiring managers to design smart, scalable hiring plans

  • Improve how we onboard remote team members and make the first 30 days great

Culture, Engagement & Performance
  • Co-own our performance review cycles and feedback culture

  • Partner with leadership on initiatives around learning, recognition, and team health

  • Help shape our culture as we scale – with ideas, initiatives, and a lot of listening

Coaching, Support & Development
  • Be a trusted person for team members to go to with questions or concerns

  • Support managers on people-related topics – from feedback to growth plans

  • Help us spot issues early and work toward healthy, constructive solutions
