What this role is
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.
