• Support compensation work by helping with benchmarking, leveling, salary bands, and the operational pieces tied to merit, promotion, and equity changes.
• Build a strong onboarding experience so new hires can ramp quickly, understand expectations, and start successfully from day one.
• Handle offboarding in a careful, compliant, and respectful way that protects the company and treats departing employees well.
• Develop and coordinate manager and leadership enablement programs, from new-manager training to ongoing development initiatives.
• Maintain HR compliance across federal, state, and multi-state requirements, including leave, worker classification, and records management.
• Create people analytics, dashboards, and reporting that give leadership visibility into headcount, retention, performance, and organizational health.
• Act as a trusted contact for employees and managers by handling sensitive People matters with discretion, sound judgment, and care.
• Work closely with leadership, recruiting, finance, and operations so People programs align with how the business actually operates.

• Proven ability to build processes and operating infrastructure from the ground up.
• Practical experience with HRIS administration, performance cycles, onboarding, offboarding, and compliance work.
• Comfort working with data, including compensation benchmarks, headcount metrics, and other people analytics, and translating them into recommendations.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. employment law and HR compliance, including multi-state considerations.

The base salary for this full-time role is $85,000 to $120,000, plus bonus, equity, and benefits. Final compensation depends on location, experience, skills, and relevant education or training. The listed pay range reflects base salary only.
