About Javvy

Javvy Coffee is a fast-growing, better-for-you coffee brand on a mission to make bold, flavorful, and incredibly convenient coffee. From our best-selling Coffee Concentrates to our Protein Coffee, everything we create is designed to be easy, guilt-free, and crave-worthy. We’re building the future of at-home coffee and looking for passionate, driven people to help us bring it to life.

The Opportunity

As HR & Talent Acquisition Manager at Javvy, you’ll run the people engine of one of the fastest-growing beverage brands in the U.S. You won’t just “do HR”—you’ll own recruiting, onboarding, compliance, culture, and internal systems that power every stage of the employee lifecycle.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team to fill critical roles, streamline processes, and create an environment where A-players can thrive. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams like Finance, Ops, and IT to ensure our people systems run smoothly and scale as we grow. From building a proactive talent pipeline to coaching managers through tough performance decisions, you’ll be at the center of all things people.

We need someone who moves fast, thinks like an owner, and thrives in a startup environment—equally comfortable hiring top talent, tightening compliance, handling operational projects, and mapping long-term talent needs. You’ll balance building scalable processes with keeping the employee experience personal, consistent, and high-quality.

What You’ll Own

• Own the full-cycle recruiting process from sourcing to offer.
• Conduct screening calls for key roles and uphold a high talent bar.
• Use LinkedIn Recruiter and networking to proactively build a pipeline of A-players.
• Partner with hiring managers to define roles, create scorecards, and align on must-haves.
• Manage succession planning and talent mapping to keep the right people in the right seats.
• Coach and advise managers to assess candidates and team members confidently and make smart organizational decisions.

HR Administration & Compliance

• Manage HR systems (Rippling or similar), benefits, PTO, and employee records.
• Maintain and update the org chart, policies, and compliance documentation.
• Maintain audit-ready HR documentation and compliance processes while balancing risk management with the speed and agility of a scaling startup.
• Oversee performance management and guide managers on employee relations, terminations, and conflict resolution.
• Serve as the go-to resource for employees on HR-related topics.
• Develop and maintain HR policies, procedures, and the employee handbook.

Culture & Internal Operations

• Lead internal communications, company-wide announcements, and operational broadcasts.
• Organize team events, gifting, and recognition programs while driving culture initiatives that keep employees engaged and connected.
• Streamline onboarding and offboarding for smooth, consistent experiences.
• Maintain and organize file storage, documentation, and knowledge hubs for easy access.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with leadership and teams across Finance, Ops, and IT to ensure seamless execution of people-related initiatives.

Manager Coaching & Performance Support

• Coach managers to take decisive action on hiring, firing, and performance management.
• Support employee relations, mediate conflicts, and guide leaders through sensitive situations.
• Partner with leadership on succession planning and talent mapping.
• You have a BA in HR, Business, or a related field (preferred).
• You have 7+ years of HR, Talent Acquisition, and Recruiting experience.
• You have experience working at a fast growth startup, preferably in CPG.
• You’re stronger on the recruiting side than pure HR—comfortable sourcing, assessing, and closing top talent.
• You’ve hired 20+ people and led at least 5+ terminations.
• You’re an excellent communicator with high EQ and strong people-reading skills.
• You’re a strong coach to managers on hiring, firing, and performance management.
• You move fast, are resourceful, and can build process from scratch.
• You’re budget-conscious and understand the cost implications of HR decisions.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can pivot priorities quickly.
• You’re willing to travel occasionally to meet with the team.

Why This Role Rocks

• High Impact from Day One: Every hire you make and every system you build shapes the company’s future.
• Cross-Functional Influence: Partner with leaders across Finance, Ops, and IT to keep our people engine running smoothly.
• Fast-Moving, No Bureaucracy: Work directly with decision-makers and make changes without red tape.
• Build From Scratch:Shape the recruiting, HR, and internal ops systems that will scale with the brand.
• Culture Driver: Have a direct hand in creating the environment where our best work happens.
• Category-Defining Brand: Join a brand with momentum, resources, and the ambition to dominate.
