• Organizational Development: Partner with leadership and advisors to execute and iterate on organizational practices that support strategic business goals.

• 7+ years of HR management experience, with experience scaling teams in a high-growth environment, particularly Series A or in similar fast-paced scenarios.

• Experience in making a visit to “HR” feel more like a meal with a trusted friend than a visit to the principal’s office.

• Able to influence and build relationships across all levels of the organization. Ability to deliver tough feedback and coach leaders at all levels.

• A strategic thinker with the ability to execute tactically in a fast-paced, evolving environment independently. 

• Clear and concise communication style.

• World-class empathy and a people-centric mindset.
