Your Day To Day
Talent engine. Recruiting execution has dedicated owners — you make the machine around them world-class: hiring velocity, interview quality, decision discipline, and a candidate experience that closes the people we want most.
Performance Management, Career Pathing & Manager Development. Partner with Finance on leveling architecture and benchmarking (Pave/Carta); design offer strategy. Own and evolve our career pathing framework so growth criteria at every level are clear and defensible. Run merit and promotion cycles end to end, including calibration. Directly coach and develop our people managers — especially first-time managers — through performance conversations, calibration, and promotion decisions.
People platform (HRIS). Rippling is our HRIS and you own it: job architecture, approval workflows, onboarding that impresses on day one, offboarding that's airtight.
Employee Relations. Be the first line on ER issues — investigations, conflict escalation, terminations — handled with rigor and fairness, and coach managers through difficult situations before they escalate.
Benefits, total rewards & employee support. Own benefits strategy and annual renewals with our broker, 401(k) administration, and payroll operations. Make our rewards competitive, understood, and efficient. Support immigration needs (H-1B and related, with dedicated outside counsel), mobility.
Learning & Development. Own and grow the learning & development program to scale success growing managers into senior leaders.

- Hungry to build from the ground up and partner directly with the CEO on a daily basis
- True generalist with depth: credible on career pathing conversations, comp architecture one day, an immigration case the next, an HRIS workflow redesign the day after
