HR Manager - Hiring & People Ops

We’re Not Looking for a Traditional HR Manager. We’re Hiring a Systems-Driven People Ops Builder.

What You’ll Actually Own

• Drive full-cycle hiring for key roles.
• Deep dive into role discovery, create assignments, market roles, and screening.
• Deliver top 5 close-worthy candidates for each position.

• Build and maintain a centralized, structured, and evergreen repository of all internal policies and team-critical information.
• Own the "single source of truth" for how things work across the org — easy to access, hard to misinterpret.
• AI-fication: Deploy custom GPTs or internal agents to make policy access self-serve and real-time. No more pings for basic answers.

• Identify and engage passive talent for current and future hard-to-fill roles.
• Build niche outbound sequences, automate sourcing cadences, and own top-of-funnel velocity.
• Don’t wait for great talent — go after it.

• Automate recurring HR operations: onboarding, offboarding, approvals, access, and payroll triggers.
• Eliminate manual follow-ups, broken loops, and chaos.
• Build systems that run without human babysitting.

• Own planning and execution of high-leverage internal rituals — retreats, strategy days, all-hands.
• Design experiences that drive clarity, alignment, and momentum — not noise or vanity.
• Ensure every event is frictionless, intentional, and feedback-worthy.

• Maintain a light but sharp pulse on morale, stagnation, and broken feedback loops.
• Ensure issues are handled by the right people, without owning rituals yourself.
• You know when to hire, delegate, or automate — and we’ll back you on that.
• You design environments where the right people grow fast and the wrong ones can’t hide.

Reporting Line

What We Expect From You

• You’ve built or scaled hiring and people systems in lean, high-growth teams or startups.
• You understand org design, incentives, and performance from a systems thinking lens.
• You default to asking: “What moves the needle?” and eliminate everything else.
• You’re not here for status or praise — you’re here to build leverage.
• You’re comfortable starting as a one-person execution machine.
• If you need to be told what to do every day, this isn’t for you.

Who This Role is Not For

• You need structure handed to you.
• You want to manage a large team.
• You think HR is about compliance, parties, or policies alone.
• You can’t say no to low-leverage work.

Why This Role Is a Career Accelerator

• You’ll own initiatives that directly impact hiring, retention, and ops scale.
• You’ll work with decision-makers — no middle layers.
• You’ll be the engine behind our scale-up from $2.5M to $10M ARR.
• You’ll grow through ownership, not permission.
• You’ll set the bar for what people ops looks like in a modern, high-agency SaaS company.
