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 effective 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
