If you enjoy the pace of startups, thrive on building things from scratch, and love both finding great talent and creating an engaging workplace, this role is for you.

- Support core HR operations — payroll coordination, HRIS updates, and compliance documentation.
- Run employee engagement initiatives and feedback programs to strengthen culture and retention.
- Partner with leadership on performance management, learning, and development efforts.
- Track and report key people metrics (hiring funnel, retention, engagement insights) for leadership reviews.
- Act as a culture ambassador — ensuring values, communication, and collaboration stay strong as we grow.
- 5-8 years of combined experience in Talent Acquisition and HR, preferably in startups or high-growth tech environments.
- Proven track record of independently closing multiple tech and non-tech roles
- Deep understanding of startup dynamics and comfort with lean processes and ambiguity.
- Hands-on with modern HR and recruiting tools (ATS, HRIS, GSuite, Slack, Notion, etc.).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- A proactive, data-driven, and people-first mindset.
- Experience in employer branding or campus programs.
