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
