• Provide operational HR support to managers and employees on day-to-day issues such as employee relations, performance management, onboarding, and HR system transactions, ensuring smooth operations.
• Support organizational effectiveness initiatives such as role clarity, decision-rights alignment, and team health diagnostics within matrixed or cross-functional teams.
• Leverage data and analytics to guide decision-making, monitor trends (e.g. attrition, engagement, promotion velocity), and offer insights tailored to tech and corporate org needs—such as headcount modeling, skills mapping, or compensation benchmarking.

• You have a solid understanding of HR operations and how to contextualize them in tech-forward organizations (e.g., managing in flat hierarchies, asynchronous teams, or remote-first environments).

• You’re familiar with the structure of technical organizations (e.g., engineering pods, sprints, roadmaps) and can hold your own in conversations about technical resourcing, velocity, or product delivery.
• You have experience partnering with Engineering and Product Ops teams on people process automation, systems integration, or self-service tooling that enhances employee or manager experience.
• You understand how corporate teams operate—from the forecasting and compliance cadence of Finance and Legal to the dynamic, fast-iterating nature of GTM and Marketing.
• You have demonstrated a deep understanding of technology and corporate cultures and the unique challenges and opportunities that come with supporting engineering, product, and analytics teams.
• You’re comfortable partnering with leaders who may be data-savvy or product-oriented, and you can flex your style to influence analytically driven or risk-sensitive decision-makers.
• You’re experienced in supporting high-change environments—whether that’s re-orgs, system launches, or process redesigns that impact distributed teams across tech and corporate roles.
• You have experience with HR technology systems (e.g., Workday, Greenhouse, and workforce analytics platforms) and enjoy optimizing these systems for efficiency and insight.
• You have experience in coaching and supporting managers and leaders at all levels, helping them become better people leaders and navigate complex employee relations issues.
• You value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and have experience driving DEI initiatives and fostering an inclusive work environment.
• You are an effective communicator with the ability to build trust and relationships across all levels of the organization.
