- Partner closely with Finance, Recruiting, and company leadership on headcount planning, onboarding, offboarding, compensation, and broader people initiatives
- Evaluate and optimize our HR technology stack, leveraging modern systems, automation, integrations, and AI-enabled tools to make HR more efficient and scalable
- Use HR data and employee feedback to identify trends, surface issues, and help leadership make informed people decisions
- Build scalable HR processes without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy
- Remain hands-on and willing to jump into the details when needed
