Senior Director, Total Rewards, HRIS and Data

Steno

10d • $200,000 - $230,000

About The Position

Steno was built on a simple idea - litigation support shouldn't be an obstacle. Since 2018, we've been delivering on that promise, growing into a business with over $90M raised, a team that continues to scale, and a multi-product platform serving thousands of law firms nationwide. We combine expert services, proprietary data, and modern technology in a way no one else in the legal industry can. As the business scales, so does the complexity of supporting our people. This is a first-of-its-kind role at Steno with a clear mandate to build the Total Rewards, HRIS, and People Data function with the full support of executive leadership.
