You'll be the go-to person for how things work here, from someone's first day to their last, including sensitive conversations that need care and discretion. You'll report to the COO and work closely with Recruitment, IT and Finance. This is a hands-on role with a clear path to shape and grow the HR function as the company scales.

• Own Rippling as the HRIS, keeping employee data accurate and workflows running smoothly.
• Manage the Deel EOR workforce, including onboarding, contract changes and day-to-day contact with Deel.
• Support employees across the US, UK and Australian entities, ensuring contracts, leave and local requirements are handled correctly.
• Administer benefits across regions, including US Open Enrollment alongside the broker.
• Partner with Finance on payroll, ensuring starters, leavers and changes are captured accurately and on time each cycle.
• Handle sensitive employee matters, including performance conversations, exits and investigations, with discretion and sound judgment.
• Be the first point of contact for employee questions on policies, leave, benefits and paperwork.
• Document and tighten HR processes so they scale across countries and time zones.
