Job description

We Are CablesAndKits

For nearly 25 years, CablesAndKits has helped businesses get the networking hardware and infrastructure products they need to keep projects moving. We've built our business around making that experience easier - combining reliable products, responsive service, and a team that takes ownership and gets things done. LET'S GET IT DONE isn't just our tagline; it's how we work together and serve our customers.

And how we get it done matters. Guided by our Business as a Ministry mindset and Christian values, we believe business can be a force for good and people should be treated with care, dignity, integrity, and respect. If you take pride in your work, care about the people around you, and want to be part of a team where your contribution matters, you'll feel at home here.

The Role

We're looking for a Head of People & Culture who can think like an executive and operate like an owner.

You'll lead the full People & Culture function at CablesAndKits, partnering directly with the CEO and leadership team to shape the organization, workforce, leadership capability, and culture we need for what comes next.

This is also a genuinely hands-on role. We're a lean business, and you won't inherit a large HR team. You'll personally own core People operations while deciding what should be built, automated, outsourced, or eventually delegated as we grow.

If you're equally comfortable advising a CEO on organization design and workforce strategy as you are rolling up your sleeves to solve a payroll issue, improve an HRIS process, recruit a critical hire, or navigate an employee situation, you'll likely thrive here.

What You’ll Own

• Partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to translate business priorities into workforce, organization, capability, and talent strategies.
• Lead the full People & Culture lifecycle across U.S. employees and globally distributed contractors, balancing long-term strategy with hands-on execution in a lean, entrepreneurial environment.
• Own core People operations, including HRIS/Paycor, payroll coordination and controls, benefits, employee records, policies, compliance, and employee lifecycle processes.
• Build practical, scalable People infrastructure and determine what should be owned internally, automated, outsourced, or delegated as the business evolves.
• Lead organization design and workforce planning, creating clarity around roles, accountability, capacity, decision rights, and future talent needs.
• Own talent acquisition and workforce capability, from recruiting strategy and critical hiring through structured selection, onboarding, development, succession, and critical-role continuity.
• Build a lightweight, effective approach to performance management, feedback, development, recognition, and accountability.
• Coach leaders and managers through performance, leadership, organizational, and employee challenges, strengthening management capability across CK.
• Own employee relations and People risk, including investigations, performance concerns, separations, compliance, and sensitive employee matters.
• Shape and strengthen CK's culture and employee experience, creating clear expectations, strong communication, connection, and accountability across frontline and professional teams.
• Partner with Finance on compensation, benefits, workforce costs, headcount planning, and People controls, bringing financially grounded recommendations to leadership.
• Use workforce data, systems, automation, and AI to improve decision-making, increase efficiency, and keep P&C infrastructure lean and scalable.

What We’re Looking For

• Progressive People/HR leadership experience with broad ownership across the employee lifecycle in a small or mid-sized business.
• Proven ability to connect business strategy with organization design, workforce planning, talent, capability, and People investment.
• Strong hands-on experience with People operations, including HRIS, payroll and benefits, compliance, employee relations, onboarding/offboarding, and recruiting.
• Proven ability to build practical, high-leverage People solutions with a resourceful, hands-on approach; moving quickly, using technology and external partners effectively, and avoiding unnecessary complexity.
• Demonstrated success advising senior executives while independently driving execution.
• Strong experience and sound judgment across talent acquisition, performance management, L&D, employee relations, organization design, compensation, and People risk.
• A track record of improving manager capability, accountability, employee experience, and culture without over-engineering the solution.

Nice to Have

• Relevant experience in a founder-led, entrepreneurial, or lean SMB environment.
• Experience supporting distribution, e-commerce, warehouse/fulfillment, technology-enabled operations, or another business with both frontline and professional employees.
• Experience building People infrastructure during organizational growth or transformation.
• Experience with Paycor or a comparable HCM/payroll platform.
• Experience supporting or managing globally distributed contractors and navigating People considerations of an international contractor workforce.
• Strong knowledge of employment law and HR compliance, with the judgment to identify legal risk and engage employment counsel or specialized expertise when appropriate.
• Practical experience using automation and AI to improve People operations and reduce administrative work.

What Success Looks Like in Your First 6-12 Months

• Core People operations are reliably owned and executed, with accurate systems and records and effective payroll, benefits, compliance, and employee lifecycle processes.
• A forward-looking workforce plan is in place and actively used, connecting headcount, capability, and talent priorities to CK’s business and financial plans.
• Roles, accountability, management expectations, and succession needs are clear, with leaders equipped and expected to manage performance effectively.
• CK has a disciplined, effective hiring approach that consistently attracts, assesses, hires, and integrates high-performing people.
• A practical performance and development rhythm is operating consistently, with managers actively using it to set expectations, provide feedback, develop people, and address performance.
• Compensation, benefits, workforce costs, and People controls are effectively managed, giving leadership the visibility and confidence needed to make sound decisions.
• The Head of P&C is operating as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team and a credible, accessible People leader across the organization.

Perks & Benefits

• Medical plan with company contribution
• Company-sponsored Long-Term Disability & Life Insurance
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Voluntary Vision & Dental Insurance available
• Work-Life Balance & Enjoy the Journey Culture
