About VeroTouch

VeroTouch exists to change how homes are built.

We are a venture-backed construction technology company reimagining residential construction by combining advanced manufacturing, robotics, and traditional building expertise. At a time when housing affordability, labor shortages, and inefficiency continue to plague our industry, VeroTouch is focused on building better, faster, and smarter.

Our work sits at the intersection of construction and technology. We design and operate systems that integrate 3D printing, advanced materials, and lean production principles into real-world job sites. This is not a theoretical exercise. We are actively building homes, learning in real time, and turning those experiences into repeatable and scalable operating models.

VeroTouch is early-stage, hands‑on, and execution‑driven. The people who thrive here are builders in every sense of the word. They take ownership, stay calm under pressure, and care deeply about outcomes. If you are excited by challenges, energized by responsibility, and motivated by the opportunity to help define the future of an industry that rarely changes, you will feel at home here.

Position Summary

The Human Resources Manager at VeroTouch will serve as a strategic partner to leadership, managing and overseeing all human resources functions to support rapid growth, foster a high-performance culture, and ensure operational excellence in a dynamic, technology‑driven construction environment. This role involves developing and implementing HR policies, managing talent acquisition, leading all employee relations, compliance, and development initiatives tailored to a workforce that includes technical specialists, on‑site construction teams, and corporate staff. Reporting directly to executive leadership, the HR Manager will align HR strategies with VeroTouch’s mission to innovate construction practices while maintaining a collaborative, accountable, and inclusive workplace. This position requires a proactive leader comfortable in an evolving, startup‑like setting who can bring structure, clarity, and scalability to people operations.

• Protect VeroTouch’s core culture during rapid growth by reinforcing values of excellence, innovation, trust, and builder’s mindset through consistent modeling, onboarding integration, and daily operations.

Performance Management and Development

• Administer performance management systems, including goal setting, regular feedback, evaluations, and development plans to enhance individual and team capabilities in a fast‑paced environment.
