Shortlist by skills, not biasRole Description
Are you passionate about building people-first workplaces where talent thrives and culture scales?
In our Human Resources roles, you’ll go far beyond policy enforcement or routine admin. You’ll play a hands-on role in shaping how high-performance teams are hired, supported, and developed across a global portfolio of companies.
From recruitment and onboarding to performance management and employee engagement, you'll use proven frameworks to build scalable HR systems that enable growth, alignment, and retention—without bureaucracy.
This is the ideal role for HR professionals who want to drive real business outcomes while supporting people at every stage of the employee journey.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing and executing scalable people processes across recruitment, onboarding, engagement, L&D, and performance.
- Partnering with leaders to ensure HR operations align with business objectives.
- Implementing data-driven frameworks to track key HR metrics and improve outcomes like retention, productivity, and satisfaction.
- Rolling out employee lifecycle playbooks across fast-moving, remote-first teams.
What You WON’T Be Doing
- Acting only as an administrator or gatekeeper—you’ll be a proactive partner, not just a policy enforcer.
- Managing slow, manual processes. We automate wherever possible so you can focus on impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Optimize end-to-end HR operations across hiring, onboarding, performance, and engagement.
- Maintain compliance with labor laws while creating employee-first practices.
- Use people data and pulse surveys to shape decisions and improve team health.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, leadership, and support teams.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in HR, talent management, or people operations—ideally in fast-paced or global environments.
- Strong understanding of HR tools, systems, and compliance frameworks.
- Ability to balance empathy with performance-driven people practices.
- Process-oriented mindset with attention to detail and continuous improvement.
Why This Role Is Unique
You’ll work across multiple companies and teams, applying playbooks that let HR scale without adding layers of overhead. You’ll build systems that grow with the organization—empowering talent and strengthening culture along the way.
What You’ll Learn
- How to implement modern HR practices at scale across remote, global teams.
- How to align people strategies with business goals for measurable impact.
- How to build agile, tech-enabled HR operations that improve both experience and performance.
This Role Is for You If You:
- Love people and processes equally.
- Enjoy shaping culture while improving systems.
- Are energized by solving people challenges in dynamic, evolving organizations.

Key responsibilities
Close the searches nobody else in the organization can close.
Description
Every hiring organization has a pile it cannot clear. The role that needs six specific skills in one person, in one small town. The search where the pay is good, but not the best offer on the table. The onsite requirement that rules out most of the interested talent pool. Most companies let the pile sit or throw more recruiters at it. We built this seat to clear it.
You will carry that pile yourself. No team under you, no playbook waiting for you. These searches are hard because the pool is tiny, the work arrangement rules out people who would otherwise say yes, or the comp is good, but not great. Your job is to find the angle nobody else found. Most of your stakeholders are executives with strong opinions and conflicting criteria; a few have stopped trusting a skills-first hiring process altogether. You hold firm with both and correct the record with documentation.
The rest of the job is making sure a problem does not come back. You will use AI every day and build your own tools when you hit a recurring problem, in hours, instead of waiting weeks on a ticket. Whatever generalizes goes to engineering to harden. Few talent acquisition roles let you ship the fix yourself. This one expects it.
We would rather stop you now than waste your time. This is not the job for you if:
- You need a playbook before you move.
- You want to be liked more than you want to be effective.
- Documentation-heavy stakeholder management drains you.
- You need requests to arrive complete, and something other than yourself holding the open threads.
If that list reads like your best week, keep going. You will finish the year with searches nobody believed were closable, executives who ask for you by name, and tools you built in an afternoon still running in the portfolio.
Our application process takes real effort, because the work does. If this made you want the job more, apply.
Candidate requirements
- 8+ years in recruiting, talent acquisition, or executive search, with recent years concentrated in hard-to-fill or executive-level searches.
- Hard-to-fill searches have been your normal book of work, end-to-end from intake through close, not the occasional exception.
- Closed searches another recruiter or firm had already failed to fill, where you built the approach rather than running an existing playbook.
- Worked directly with executive decision-makers as the accountable owner, and held a firm position with documentation when one disagreed.
- Built or revised a hiring assessment using outcome data, not just administered one somebody else designed.
- Use AI tools daily and can name a work product you made with them in the last three months. Building your own with Claude Code, low-code platforms, or agentic workflows counts for more than using a finished product.
- Produced compensation benchmarking or market-sizing analysis for an executive audience.
- Personally responsible for spotting US hiring compliance risk: pay bands, worker classification, or pay transparency rules.
- Have written artifacts that others used: an SOP, process document, or post-mortem.
- At least 6 hours per weekday overlapping US business hours.
