Your Role

We're looking for a thoughtful, pragmatic HR leader who leads with good judgment, adds structure without adding bureaucracy, and genuinely cares about building a workplace where people thrive. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role works closely with leadership and owns the full scope of the people function — from hiring and onboarding to culture, compliance, and everything in between. 

You'll lead a small team that supports recruiting coordination, office operations, and day-to-day HR administration, while remaining a hands-on contributor across all areas of the function. The right person for this role brings both operational rigor and strategic thinking. You're someone who can move fluidly between executing on the details and stepping back to think about how we build a people function that scales, without layers of process that slow us down.
