About The Position

Allara is a comprehensive women’s health provider that specializes in expert, longitudinal care that supports women through every life stage. Trusted by over 60,000 women nationwide, Allara makes expert healthcare accessible by connecting patients with multidisciplinary care teams that have a deep understanding of hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive care. Allara provides ongoing support for hormonal conditions like PCOS, chronic conditions like insulin resistance, and life stages like perimenopause, helping patients see improved health outcomes. As one of the fastest-growing women’s health platforms in the U.S., Allara is bridging long-overlooked gaps in healthcare for women. The Opportunity Allara is excited to be hiring our first People Partner! In this role, you’ll build and lead the next chapter of our people function. This is a high-impact, foundational role where you’ll shape how HR operates at Allara. You’ll report to and work closely with the COO and broader leadership team to establish scalable, thoughtful, and compliant people practices. You’ll own the full employee lifecycle outside of Talent Acquisition (which sits separately), serving as the go-to partner across employee relations, compliance, benefits, performance management, and all other core people programs. This role is both strategic and highly hands-on – you can expect to design and implement programs while also executing day-to-day operations. We have several foundational pieces in place and are now seeking someone who can bring structure and execution where needed, as well as thoughtfully evolve our HR practices as we grow. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in a “builder” role – you’ll play a key role in shaping the employee experience & company culture. If this sounds like a role you’d thrive in, we’d love to meet you!
