About The Position

We're looking for a People & Culture Manager to own our full people function and build an environment that's both buttoned-up and genuinely enjoyable to work in. This is a rare "tight and fun" HR role: you'll keep us compliant and airtight on the back end while shaping a culture people actually want to be part of. You'll lead performance, talent acquisition, employee relations, and the overall employee experience, and manage a team while you do it. If you believe great HR is equal parts rigor and heart, this one's for you.

  • Full-cycle recruiting / TA experience; comfort managing or partnering with offshore recruiters (Philippines experience a plus)
  • Strong grounding in HR compliance, employee relations, and handling complaints/investigations
  • A culture-builder at heart, someone who can balance "tight, compliant HR" with a warm, human, fun approach
  • Excellent communication and coaching skills

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the driving force behind a positive, engaging company culture
  • Design and lead initiatives that boost engagement, retention, and day-to-day employee experience
  • Be a trusted, approachable point of contact for the team
  • Overhaul and elevate our performance review process end to end
  • Rebuild our PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) framework so it's fair, effective, and legally sound
  • Coach managers on delivering feedback and running productive review cycles
  • Lead full-cycle recruiting and overall TA strategy
  • Manage and support our recruiter based in the Philippines, and help scale our sourcing and hiring efforts
  • Partner with hiring managers to keep pipelines strong and time-to-fill low
  • Handle employee complaints, investigations, and relations issues with discretion and consistency
  • Keep the organization compliant with all applicable employment laws and regulations
  • Maintain clean, audit-ready documentation and HR processes
  • Own and optimize our HRIS in ADP (payroll, records, reporting, workflows)
  • Streamline HR operations for accuracy and efficiency
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a small HR/People team
