Role OverviewWe are seeking an autonomous, compliance-minded, and tech-savvy HR Manager to oversee and elevate our human resources operations. In this non-supervisory role, you will report directly to the VP of Finance and Administration and serve as the foundational pillar for our fully distributed team.
The ideal candidate has
5 to 8 years of progressive HR experience, with a proven track record of managing HR operations within a strictly remote corporate environment. You will be our go-to expert on navigating the complexities of a multi-state workforce-someone who thrives on researching and conquering unfamiliar state regulations.
Key ResponsibilitiesMulti-State Compliance & Legal Oversight- Navigate Complex Regulations: Oversee HR compliance across multiple U.S. states. Proactively research, interpret, and implement policies for new states as our footprint expands.
- Rigorous Quality Control: Review and maintain company handbooks, employment agreements, and state-specific compliance mandates.
- Risk Management: Ensure the business remains fully aligned with evolving federal, state, and local labor laws.
Employee Lifecycle & Performance- Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the end-to-end lifecycle processes. Ensure new hires feel welcomed and integrated into our remote culture from day one, and manage offboarding with empathy, compliance, and administrative precision.
- Performance Evaluation Cycle: Lead, design, and execute our annual/mid-year performance evaluation cycles, ensuring managers and employees are aligned on growth and accountability.
Communication & Culture- Friendly but Firm Approach: Act as a trusted, accessible partner for employees while confidently upholding company policies, compliance boundaries, and business objectives.
Process Automation & Tech Optimization- Smart Tool Utilization: Sensibly evaluate and integrate modern tools (including AI and HRIS automations) to streamline administrative workflows, generate basic templates, and eliminate manual redundancy.
Qualifications & Skills- Experience: 5-8 years of dedicated HR experience, with a mandatory requirement of at least 2-3 years supporting a fully remote organization.
- Multi-State Expertise: Proven ability to independently dive into, figure out, and implement labor laws in states where the company has no prior footprint.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to balance a warm, approachable demeanor with firm boundary-setting.
- Education & Certifications: Holding one of the following certifications/degrees is highly desirable, but not required:
- SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP (SHRM Certified Professional / Senior Certified Professional)
- PHR or SPHR (Professional / Senior Professional in Human Resources via HRCI)
- Bachelor's Degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field.
