• Experience working at a startup or fast-growing company

• Strong operational HR background (onboarding, compliance, leave, employee relations)

• Experience supporting a multi-state workforce

• Comfortable being highly employee-facing and working directly with teams, not
just handling HR work behind the scenes

Practical, low-ego, and solutions-oriented

• Strong judgment - knows when to escalate and when to act

• Clear communicator who can explain complex topics simply

• Calm under pressure and trusted by managers and employees

• Willing to execute day-to-day work, not just design processes

What Success Looks Like
