HR Manager

About the Role

This is not a traditional HR role.

We are looking for someone who can build the People & Culture engine of the company — someone who can bring structure, drive accountability, and create a high-performance organization. You will work directly with the founder to ensure the company operates on ownership, outcomes, and strong systems — not dependency on individuals.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable HR processes across hiring, onboarding, performance management, and employee lifecycle
• Bring structure to a growing organization while keeping flexibility intact
• Continuously improve systems to make HR more efficient and less people-dependent
• Define and strengthen company culture across in-office and remote teams
• Create initiatives that drive ownership, accountability, and high performance
• Act as a culture champion and ensure values are lived daily
• Build outcome-driven performance management systems
• Work with managers to set clear expectations and track impact, not effort
• Drive regular reviews, feedback loops, and growth plans
• Own hiring strategy for key roles
• Improve hiring quality and speed
• Ensure a strong candidate experience and employer brand
• Be the go-to person for employees
• Build trust across teams and resolve issues proactively
• Identify early signals of disengagement and take action
• Work closely with founder on org structure, hiring plans, and team effectiveness
• Bring insights and recommendations, not just execution

What Success Looks Like in 6–12 Months

• Teams operate with clear ownership and minimal follow-ups
• Performance reviews are objective, outcome-driven, and consistent
• Hiring quality improves significantly
• Culture shifts toward speed, accountability, and ownership
• Founder dependency on day-to-day people decisions reduces

Who You Are

• 5–8+ years of experience in HR, preferably in fast-growing startups
• Have built systems and processes, not just executed HR operations
• Strong ability to drive accountability and tough decisions
• Extremely proactive — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• High ownership mindset — you take problems personally and solve them
• Comfortable working directly with founders and senior leadership
• Strong people skills, but not afraid of difficult conversations
