HR & Talent Manager

We're looking for a hands-on HR & Talent Manager who thrives in dynamic, fast-moving environments and genuinely enjoys the full breadth of the people function. This is not a purely strategic role — you'll roll up your sleeves and own execution across hiring, performance, onboarding, and culture.

You're organized, people-first, and not afraid to build processes from scratch. You understand that in a growing company, how we hire, how we welcome new team members, and how we hold each other accountable defines who we are.

What You'll Own

Hiring & Talent Acquisition

• Partner with hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and build structured interview processes
• Own the full-cycle recruiting pipeline — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing
• Build and refine interview scorecards and consistent evaluation criteria across teams
• Manage relationships with external recruiters and job platforms as needed

Onboarding

• Design and continuously improve a repeatable, engaging new hire onboarding experience
• Coordinate logistics across teams to ensure new employees ramp quickly and feel welcomed
• Gather feedback to iterate and improve the onboarding program over time

Performance & Review Processes

• Build and manage semi-annual or quarterly performance review cycles
• Train managers on giving effective feedback and conducting productive reviews
• Establish goal-setting frameworks (OKRs or equivalent) in partnership with leadership
• Support managers in handling performance improvement plans when needed

Culture & Employee Experience

• Champion a cohesive, values-aligned culture as the company scales
• Run employee engagement surveys and translate results into action
• Organize team rituals, recognition programs, and culture touchpoints
• Serve as a trusted, neutral resource for employee concerns and conflict resolution

HR Operations

• Maintain accurate employee records, compliance documentation, and HR systems
• Manage benefits administration and open enrollment coordination
• Ensure compliance with applicable labor laws and employment regulations
• Own the employee handbook and keep policies current

Requirements

• 3–6 years of HR management experience, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or fast-paced SMB environment
• Demonstrated experience owning hiring processes end-to-end — not just supporting them
• Track record building or improving HR programs from the ground up
• Strong interpersonal skills — you're approachable, trustworthy, and direct
• Comfort operating with ambiguity; you don't wait for a perfect playbook
• Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Familiarity with HRIS platforms, ATS tools, and basic compliance requirements

Nice to Have

• Experience in healthcare, tech, or regulated industries
• PHR, SHRM-CP, or equivalent certification
• Experience supporting a remote or hybrid workforce
• Comfort with data — using metrics to tell the story of your HR programs

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k with company match)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Work From Home
• Stock Option Plan
