Qualifications

• 6–10 years in People/HR at fast-moving startups.

• Design a remote-first onboarding experience that embeds culture and ensures multi-state compliance.
• Lead engagement, internal communications, and culture programming with data-driven insights (eNPS, pulse surveys).
• Default to automation: build self-service workflows and document systems to avoid tribal knowledge.
• Manage and develop a TA hire who runs day-to-day sourcing, interviewing, and coordination across Engineering, Product, and GTM.
• Own recruiting infrastructure: ATS configuration, interview loop design, scorecards, offer frameworks, and employer branding.
• Set and maintain the hiring bar: calibrate interviewers and close executive-level candidates.
• Partner with leadership on workforce planning: role definitions, headcount prioritization, and comp-band strategy.
• Serve as primary point of contact for employee questions and sensitive situations; coach managers on performance conversations.
