About Mind Media Entertainment

Mind Media Entertainment is a rapid-growing social-media-first video production company working across content strategy, pre-production, production, post-production, and client servicing.

As the company continues to scale its team and operations, we are looking for an HR Manager who can take complete ownership of the people function — from hiring and onboarding to performance management, policies, discipline, employee development, and retention.

This is not an HR coordination role. We are looking for someone who can build systems, make decisions, solve people problems, and independently run the HR department.
