## Summary

Lead the people function at a 200-person, profitable, fast-moving company where you'll own performance management, compensation, compliance, and manager enablement end-to-end with executive visibility and real decision-making authority. This role suits someone with multiple cycles of hands-on ownership at scale who can inherit a working system, improve it thoughtfully, and empower a two-person team to grow.

_Our summary, not Launch Potato's wording._

## Required

- Led a full performance management cycle end-to-end at 150+ people, multiple times
- Owned compensation and benefits including band design and benchmarking
- Managed HR compliance as standing scope across multi-state registration, I-9, handbook, classification, and postings
- Built a people system that was adopted and remained in use after you left
- Built automation or tooling for a people process that the team actually adopted
- Scaled a company from your current size to materially larger on headcount or revenue, more than once
- Coached and grew a team to deliver extraordinary outcomes

## Nice to have

- Have a point of view on what performance management gets wrong with specific examples of changes you made
- Can distinguish process problems from manager capability issues and fix the right one
- Willing to voice uncomfortable truths in calibration discussions
