The Role

• Roll up your sleeves and handle execution at all levels

What We’re Looking For

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Experience in startup or early-stage/high-growth companies
• Self-directed, proactive, and execution-focused
• Proven track record scaling HR processes during periods of change
• Experience building or owning: talent acquisition, onboarding, and core HR processes and policies

This role is not suited to highly structured, bureaucratic corporate backgrounds.
