The role

You'll be Omen's first HR hire. You will improve and build the HR function at Omen. If you're looking for an opportunity to do a lot of 0 to 1 work and have high ownership, that's what this is.

• Run our HR system of record: people data, PTO and documents in one place
• Run benefits administration and open enrollment with our broker and payroll provider
• Own compliance: California and multi-state employment rules, I-9s, required postings and trainings
• Be the go-to for employee questions and employee relations, including hard conversations and investigations
• Build simple, repeatable processes for offers, promotions, leaves and departures
• Partner with the founders and hiring managers as the team scales

What you bring

• 3+ years as an HR generalist or people operations generalist, ideally at a startup or a small team
• Hands-on generalist work across onboarding, benefits, employee relations and compliance, not just coordination
• You want to be the first HR person and build from scratch, not run someone else's playbook
• Judgment with sensitive situations, and knowing when to bring in employment counsel

Nice to have

• You've been the first or only HR person at a startup before

• Experience setting up an HRIS (Rippling, Gusto, Justworks or similar) at an early-stage company
• SHRM-CP or PHR
