Job description

Human Resources Manager

Parallelle creates elevated, thoughtfully designed products that bring beauty and ease into everyday life. We believe in craft, intentionality, and the quiet power of well‑made things. Our team blends design, operations, and customer experience into a cohesive brand built on high standards and steady growth.

About The Role

We’re looking for a shedding Human genannten Recruiter to own the full HR function at Parallelle. This is a generalist role in a small, growing organization covering recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, compliance, benefits, and payroll coordination. The role is highly execution focused. You’ll partner with leadership and managers to support the culture we’re building, but your primary value will come from implementing, maintaining, and improving people processes that work in practice, not designing abstract frameworks or long‑term people strategies. You’ll be embedded with the team day‑to‑day and expected to turn ideas into action, keep things moving, and ensure the fundamentals are solid as the company grows. This is an on‑site role based in New York City.

A Typical Day May Include

• Managing full‑cycle recruiting, including partnering with leaders, posting roles, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and supporting offers and onboarding.
• Administering day‑to‑day HR operations across the employee lifecycle, from onboarding and performance management to offboarding.
• Partnering closely with managers on employee relations, performance issues, and people decisions as they arise.
• Maintaining and evolving HR policies, procedures, and employee documentation as the organization grows.
• Ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, including record‑keeping and required reporting.
• Coordinating payroll processes and working with external partners to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
• Managing benefits administration, including enrollments, renewals, employee questions, and broker relationships.
• Handling confidential employee matters with discretion, sound judgment, and consistency.
• Identifying gaps in people processes and building practical, right‑sized systems to support a growing team.

Role Progression

• Within 1 month: You’ll understand Parallelle’s team, culture, and current people processes and be confidently managing day‑to‑day HR needs.
• Within 3 months: You’ll be fully owning HR operations, running recruiting pipelines, and serving as a trusted partner to leaders.
• Within 6 months: You’ll be strengthening consistency across HR practices and helping the company scale its people operations with confidence.

Requirements

• You’re an experienced HR generalist who has owned or significantly contributed to the full HR function.
• You’re comfortable in a growing, fast‑moving environment where not everything is fully built yet.
• You have strong recruiting experience and enjoy being hands‑on in the hiring process.
• You bring sound judgment, empathy, and professionalism to employee relations work.
• You’re organized, detail‑oriented, and reliable when managing sensitive information.
• You communicate clearly and work well in close partnership with managers and leadership.
• You’re based in New York City and comfortable working in an on‑site role.

Nice to Have, but Not Necessary

• Experience supporting a growing or startup соорганизация.
• Prior experience building or improving HR processes from the ground up.

Compensation And Benefits

• Salary: $115,000 - $125,000 with discretionary bonus based on individual and company performance.
• Benefits: Health, PTO, and additional perks aligned with Parallelle’s policies.
