Job Overview
Role Overview
We are hiring a hands-on HR Manager within our People function to take full ownership of performance management, employee development, and core people operations across our fast-scaling, global business.

Reporting to one of the Co-Founders, you will be responsible for owning and continuously improving performance management and talent development, while acting as a culture champion and trusted partner to leadership. You will fully own review cycles, goal setting, employee guidance, and progressively take on broader strategic people operations beyond existing administrative support.

- Deliver your first full performance review cycle within the first 3 months.
- Establish clear standards for performance, progression, and accountability.
- Partner closely with managers to upskill them on feedback, performance conversations, and people leadership.
Generalist & Operations
- Provide oversight and direction to our HR operations team.
- Build and implement scalable operational standards, ensuring clear accountability across all core HR processes.
- Develop, update, and provide guidance on company policies and procedures

Success in the First 612 Months
- First performance review cycle successfully completed within 6 months.
- Fully embedded with leadership and teams, with a deep understanding of how the business and portfolio companies operate.
- Improved manager capability in people leadership.
- Visible impact on culture, clarity, and accountability.
Who You Are
- Experience & Background
- Strong startup or scale-up experience (required).

- Experience owning and building people processes from the ground up.
- Comfortable operating in complexity and ambiguity.
Skills & Attributes

- Highly operational, detail oriented, and process driven.
- Strong management and stakeholder skills; able to challenge and influence leadership.
