HR Manager

About the Job

We're looking for an HR Manager who will run day-to-day HR operations — from hands-on administration to program management across the employee lifecycle. You'll report directly to an executive, executing people initiatives, keeping the company compliant, and continuously improving our HR processes, practices, and approaches. On strategic and financial matters (benefits, compensation structure, total rewards, and similar), you'll bring well-researched recommendations and options to leadership, who will make the final call.

The core mission of this role centers around talent — and everything we need to attract, develop, and retain it. This position helps lead change, nurture a positive work environment, and shepherd Company culture and Core Values through the execution of initiatives within the HR department and company-wide.

Who You Are

You are a leader who understands the value excellent people operations bring to a business and how to create that value across the spectrum of HR responsibilities. You exemplify our values and ensure they're executed across all people operations — without getting hung up on unnecessary bureaucracy. You value tolerance, meritocracy and consistency, executing with the highest integrity at all times. Being discreet, thoughtful and thorough is a given in all you do. You are an executor, and are comfortable achieving a lot with a small team. You excel at allocating your attention to initiatives that bring the biggest impact, without skipping on details.
