About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on, resourceful Recruiting & HR Operations Manager to help us attract, hire, and support exceptional talent as we grow. This role will primarily focus on full-cycle recruiting, partnering closely with hiring managers and leadership to understand business needs, build talent pipelines, and deliver an efficient, high-quality candidate experience.

While recruiting will be the priority, this role will support onboarding, employee lifecycle administration, and day-to-day HR operations when time allows. Reporting to the Fractional HR leader, you will help build scalable, consistent people practices while providing responsive support to employees and managers.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who enjoys quick execution to make an impact, owning the details, building relationships, and balancing multiple priorities in a growing organization.

Work closely with the Fractional HR leader to prioritize recruiting and people initiatives aligned with business objectives.
Build trusted relationships with employees, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners.
Handle confidential employee and candidate information with discretion and sound judgment.
Contribute to the development of consistent, scalable HR processes in a growing organization.

Desired Skills and Experience
