About The Position

O Positiv Health is a Los Angeles-based women’s health company on a mission to support women through every stage of life—from their first period to well beyond their last. Since launching in 2018, O Positiv has reshaped the women’s health space, tackling long-overlooked issues with innovative, science-backed products and boldly breaking taboos along the way. Our growing portfolio spans PMS & hormone balance, vaginal & urinary health, digestion, menopause, and conception support—offering vitamins, supplements, and personal care products that women trust. Today, O Positiv products are sold nationwide at Target, Walmart, CVS, Meijer, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and OPositiv.com. We’re proud to hold the #1 Vaginal Probiotic nationwide and multiple top-performing products across major wellness categories. We are scaling fast and shaping the future of women’s health. Our team combines an entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for innovation and a commitment to impact. Join us, and you’ll have the opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s making a real difference. We're looking for a thoughtful, pragmatic HR leader who leads with good judgment, adds structure without adding bureaucracy, and genuinely cares about building a workplace where people thrive. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role works closely with leadership and owns the full scope of the people function — from hiring and onboarding to culture, compliance, and everything in between. You'll lead a small team that supports recruiting coordination, office operations, and day-to-day HR administration, while remaining a hands-on contributor across all areas of the function. The right person for this role brings both operational rigor and strategic thinking. You're someone who can move fluidly between executing on the details and stepping back to think about how we build a people function that scales, without layers of process that slow us down.
