• Serve as a trusted advisor to managers and employees on people-related matters in a global, cross-cultural environment.


• Lead and continuously improve core HR processes, including performance reviews, feedback cycles, goal setting, and talent planning.


• Coach and support managers through complex employee relations and people challenges across multiple geographies.


• Drive initiatives that enhance employee engagement, company culture, and the overall employee experience across distributed teams.


• Ensure HR operations, policies, and processes are scalable, compliant, and aligned with business needs as the company grows.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years of experience in an HR Business Partner, People Operations, or similar role.


• Experience supporting globally distributed teams, with a strong understanding of US employment practices and work culture.


• Experience managing global employment through Employer of Record (EOR) providers, including onboarding, employee lifecycle management, and compliance.


• Experience working in a high-growth startup or other fast-paced environment.


• Comfortable collaborating across multiple time zones.


• Native-level fluency in English, both written and spoken.


• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across cultures and organizational levels.


• Proven experience coaching managers through performance, organizational, and employee relations challenges.


• High emotional intelligence, sound judgment, and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving.


• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and adapting as priorities evolve.


• Experience with organizational development, leadership coaching, or talent management is a plus.
