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. ## Responsibilities ### Build & Scale HR Processes - 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 ### Drive Culture & Engagement - 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 ### Performance & Outcome Orientation - 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 ### Talent Acquisition & Employer Brand - Own hiring strategy for key roles - Improve hiring quality and speed - Ensure a strong candidate experience and employer brand ### Employee Experience & Retention - Be the go-to person for employees - Build trust across teams and resolve issues proactively - Identify early signals of disengagement and take action ### Partner with Leadership - 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
