About The Role

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on People & Culture leader who brings both strategic thinking and strong execution capability. This role is ideal for someone who has successfully built and driven HR priorities within growing organizations and who thrives in environments where thoughtful planning, organization, communication, and follow-through are essential.

The successful candidate will be a proactive and highly independent operator who can assess organizational needs, establish clear people priorities, and execute against them in a practical and sustainable way. They will bring demonstrated experience designing and implementing HR programs, processes, and initiatives that positively impact employee experience, organizational effectiveness, and business performance.

This is not a purely strategic or advisory role — we are looking for someone who is equally comfortable developing the plan and rolling up their sleeves to execute it. The ideal candidate is collaborative, communicative, detail-oriented, and highly accountable, with a natural ability to build trust and momentum across teams.

A key focus of this role will be helping to intentionally shape and strengthen organizational culture through thoughtful leadership, consistent people practices, strong manager partnership, and ongoing employee engagement efforts.
