HR Manager — Build the People Engine of a Fast-Growing Remote Team

About Us

We’re a fast-scaling, founder-led company helping law firms grow with offshore legal talent. We’re lean, driven, and obsessed with excellence—and we’re building something special. Our team is global, but our culture is close-knit, high-trust, and fast-paced.

The Role

We’re hiring an HR Manager to lead and elevate all internal people operations—from hiring and onboarding to retention, culture, and performance development. You’ll work closely with our CEO and leadership team to build the people systems that power our growth.

All of our staff are international, so you won’t be managing any labor laws, tax compliance, or benefits. But you will lead all internal HR operations: employee handbooks, performance evaluations, retention programs, manager coaching, and recruiting oversight.

This is a strategic leadership role with high expectations. You’ll need to move quickly, make decisions confidently, and lead with clarity and urgency. You’ll also need a strong business mind—someone who understands how HR directly drives company performance.

What You’ll Do

• Design and own all internal HR systems and processes (onboarding, evaluations, offboarding, etc.)
• Actively drive employee retention, engagement, and satisfaction across global teams
• Lead performance management and coaching in partnership with department heads
• Oversee internal recruiting efforts and refine our hiring systems
• Create and update handbooks, workflows, and documentation
• Address people issues quickly and directly, with both empathy and accountability
• Act as the cultural compass and operating backbone of the internal team
• Align HR decisions with business strategy, efficiency, and bottom-line impact

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Move fast, make strong decisions, and course-correct when needed
• Have strong people instincts and high emotional intelligence
• Are proactive and take ownership without needing to be reminded
• Lead with clarity, consistency, and accountability
• Are tech-savvy and thrive in remote tools (Slack, Google Workspace, project trackers)
• Think like an operator, act like a leader, and care about business results
• Know how to connect culture, performance, and business outcomes

This Isn’t for You If…

• You wait for permission instead of taking initiative
• You need to be reminded to follow through on tasks or updates
• You get overwhelmed by ambiguity or fast pace
• You avoid tough conversations or delay decisions
• You default to building systems before taking action
• You prefer to observe rather than engage
• You expect to be trained on basics or need hand-holding
• You aren't comfortable being evaluated on speed, judgment, and ownership
• You don’t naturally think about business impact

Requirements

• 4+ years in HR leadership roles (people manager, HRBP, or Head of People equivalent)
• Experience in fast-paced startups or distributed teams strongly preferred
• Proven ability to drive retention, engagement, and performance across teams
• Strong business acumen and systems thinking—while still moving fast

What We Offer

• A leadership seat in a fast-growing, mission-driven company
• Total ownership of your lane
• Full trust and autonomy
• Competitive compensation
• Paid time off
• Health & wellness stipend
• Annual performance-based bonus opportunities
• Ongoing training and development
