Job description

A high-growth, venture-backed AI-driven technology company (currently in stealth mode) is seeking a Senior HR Manager to build and scale the People function during a critical growth phase.

This organization is redefining how AI integrates into enterprise environments and is assembling a high-performance team to support rapid expansion. The Senior HR Manager will play a pivotal role in shaping culture, infrastructure, and talent strategy from the ground up.

This is a hands-on, strategic leadership opportunity for someone who thrives in high-ownership environments and enjoys building systems that scale.

The Opportunity

You will own HR end-to-end for a fast-scaling, mid-sized organization. Partnering directly with executive leadership, you will design and implement people strategies that enable performance, accountability, and long-term growth.

The ideal candidate combines strong HR fundamentals with a modern, AI-forward mindset — leveraging technology, analytics, and automation to improve speed, insight, and execution while maintaining strong human judgment and empathy.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic HR & Organizational Design

• Partner with executive leadership on workforce planning, org design, and long-term people strategy.
• Build scalable HR policies, frameworks, and operating rhythms aligned with rapid growth.
• Strengthen a culture rooted in clarity, accountability, and high performance.

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Serve as a trusted advisor on complex and sensitive employee matters.
• Lead investigations and provide balanced, data-informed recommendations.
• Ensure compliance with federal and Texas employment laws and internal governance standards.

HR Operations & Infrastructure

• Oversee benefits administration and open enrollment.
• Own onboarding and offboarding workflows, HRIS management, and documentation standards.
• Improve operational efficiency through thoughtful application of HR technology, analytics, and automation.

Performance Management & Talent Development

• Design and manage performance review cycles and goal-alignment frameworks.
• Partner with leaders to drive coaching, feedback, and leadership development.
• Guide performance improvement plans and follow-through with consistency and clarity.

Talent Acquisition

• Lead full-cycle recruitment across technical, operational, and business functions.
• Build efficient, high-quality hiring pipelines in a competitive AI talent market.
• Elevate candidate experience through structured communication and streamlined processes.

Ideal Background

• 10–15 years of progressive HR experience, ideally within high-growth or technology-driven organizations.
• Strong foundation in employee relations, compliance, HR operations, and benefits.
• Demonstrated success building or maturing HR systems and processes from the ground up.
• Experience supporting technical or product-oriented teams preferred.
• SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or equivalent certification is a plus.

What We’re Looking For

• A strategic yet hands-on leader comfortable operating without heavy infrastructure.
• High judgment paired with high empathy.
• Strong executive presence and ability to influence cross-functionally.
• Comfort with AI-enabled tools, automation, and HR analytics.
• A builder’s mindset — resourceful, pragmatic, and energized by growth.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the people foundation of a transformative AI company before public launch.
