## Description

As the Head of People you will be the trusted partner for a small, fast-growing, fully remote organization, owning the full people function from hiring and onboarding through culture and leadership development. You will bring a warm, solutions-oriented approach rather than a compliance-first mindset, helping the business grow while keeping its team supported and aligned. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in startup environments and enjoys building systems from the ground up.

### Responsibilities

-   Manage the interview pipeline for open roles, coordinating candidates through multiple internal stakeholders and ensuring qualified talent is consistently in the pipeline
-   Partner with leadership on capacity planning, flagging when it's time to hire and confirming budget alignment before roles open
-   Own salary negotiations with incoming hires and ensure smooth onboarding, including clear, compliant contracts
-   Understand the distinction between employees and contractors, both domestic and international, and the tax/legal nuances of hiring across different US states
-   Serve as a trusted, approachable resource for the team, supporting people through workplace challenges with a coaching mindset rather than a policing one
-   Identify organizational gaps and proactively recommend and lead new people initiatives (performance reviews, learning and development, culture programs)
-   Support leadership with day-to-day HR needs while maintaining a warm, relationship-first approach

## Requirements

-   10+ years of experience in HR or People Operations
-   Prior experience in a small business or startup environment (companies that have grown from roughly 8 to 40-50 employees are ideal)
-   Experience negotiating compensation and managing full-cycle onboarding
-   Familiarity with Gusto; ASA and Airtable experience are a plus
-   Comfortable with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace
-   Strong verbal and written English
-   A warm, people-first communication style; comfortable acting as a resource and advocate rather than a compliance enforcer

## Benefits

-   Salary: $3,500–$4,200 USD/month
-   Fully remote position
