  • Guide hiring managers through interview and selection processes
  • Collaborate with HR operations teams on postings, scheduling, and onboarding coordination

Employee Relations & Performance Management
  • Coach managers through performance conversations and employee challenges
  • Support investigations and recommend appropriate resolutions when needed
  • Help leaders navigate corrective action and development planning
  • Ensure HR practices align with employment law and company policy

Employee Experience & Culture
  • Help reinforce a collaborative, high-performing culture
  • Partner with leadership on engagement initiatives and team-building efforts
  • Act as a trusted resource for employees and managers alike
  • Support communication and change management efforts across teams

HR Operations
  • Maintain accurate HR documentation and employee records
  • Partner with HR operations teams on HRIS updates, reporting, and process improvements
  • Support promotions, transfers, organizational changes, and offboarding activities

What We’re Looking For
  • 6–12 years of HR or People Operations experience within a B2B technology environment
  • Strong experience supporting the full employee lifecycle
  • Demonstrated success partnering with senior leadership teams
  • Experience coaching managers through performance management and employee relations matters
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving organizations
  • Collaborative mindset with strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Experience using modern HRIS platforms (Paylocity experience strongly preferred)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field

Ideal Background
  • Experience supporting organizations in the 50–500 employee range
  • Proven ability to influence leadership and confidently challenge decisions when appropriate
