About The Position

We are hiring an HR Manager to lead HR Operations and build the practices that will carry us through the next phase of growth. You will own employee relations, compliance, benefits, leave, payroll coordination, HR systems, and policy administration, and you will lead a team of two HR Generalists. This is a build role. Many of our people processes are early in their maturity, and we are moving from an outsourced HR support model toward stronger internal capability. You will be creating structure, not maintaining someone else's. If you are energized by that, and by helping scale an organization from roughly 150 employees toward 600 plus over the next several years, this is a strong fit. You will report to the Director of HR & Talent and partner directly with operations, engineering, finance, and executive leadership. This is a build-and-scale role. Some processes are still being developed and priorities shift as we grow. Success here takes strong judgment, collaboration, ownership, and a bias toward improving things. Every role on this team is expected to scale as the company does. As headcount grows, so do the teams, the scope, and the leadership opportunities. If you want to look back in a few years at an HR organization you helped build rather than one you inherited, this is that opportunity.
