Drive operational efficiency by identifying bottlenecks and designing, optimizing, and implementing scalable processes and workflows across the organization.

Clear status (compliant / not compliant / partial).
Documented gaps and risks.
- Specific next steps for:
Mustdo compliance fixes.
Best practice / best version of the company improvements.
Translate findings into a coherent HR playbook (policies, processes, checklists) that can be used to manage day-to-day HR responsibilities.
Maintain the HR audit and playbook to use going forward rather than as a one-time sheet, including regular updates on a quarterly basis.
- Hiring & Onboarding
Partner with our internal hiring pod (who own sourcing and interviews) to successfully open new requisitions with compliant roles and job postings and ensure a smooth hand-off when ready to onboard.
Own offers, professional reviews, newhire paperwork, I9s, statespecific requirements, workers comp setup/management, required training, and policy acknowledgments.
Ensure TCC is and remains compliant in each state when onboarding new hires (registrations, notices, etc.).

Own the Employee Handbook and core HR policies: updates, distribution, acknowledgments, and version control.
Maintain a simple, central process for logging potential policy/handbook changes and keeping that tied to the audit.
Balance legal minimum, smart risk reduction, and gold standard and help leadership choose intentionally (e.g., remote work safety guidance, reporting procedures, nonsolicitation, etc.)
- Employee Relations
Be the primary HR contact for employee questions and issues in a remote, multistate environment (leaves, wage/hour topics, conduct, benefits, complex personal situations, etc.).
Use sound judgment to decide what you can resolve vs. when to involve leadership or counsel; document issues and retain records appropriately.
- HR Systems & Records
Own HR data integrity: employment records, compensation changes, status changes, and compliance docs.
Administer our HRIS and other people tools, ensuring access is granted/removed quickly and correctly.
Centralize HR documentation so information is no longer scattered across individual drives.
Turn the audit + your work into a clear HR operations manual: policies, SOPs, checklists, and templates.
Create short Loom (or similar) videos and guides for key processes (e.g., how we onboard a new AE in California, how we process terminations, how we handle remote work injuries).
Make it so a future team member could step in and run HR using the systems you build.
Work closely with Employee Success to ensure the people experience and the HR foundation are aligned and reinforcing each other, not competing.
Clarify what HR owns vs. what managers and other teams own; set simple, predictable expectations around how to engage HR.
Track recurring issues and use them to drive process improvements and backlog items for future quarters.
Communicate tradeoffs and risks clearly to leadership in plain English so decisions are made with eyes wide open.
The HR audit and associated playbook are fully completed and actionable; leadership can review it and see exactly whats done, whats at risk, and whats next.
There is one clear source of truth for HR processes, policies, templates, and where things live.
Hiring, onboarding, and offboarding run on timebound, clear checklists and are compliant across all states we operate in.
Employee issues are handled quickly and discreetly, with thoughtful escalation when needed.
HR is viewed internally as owned, reliable, and scalable, not a mystery or a recurring fire drill.
58+ years of handson HR generalist experience in small business or startup environments.
- Experience owning HR for a remote, multistate US workforce (not just supporting one office or one state).

Experience supporting the following states is preferred: Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania

Employee relations and performance management.

High comfort with HRIS tools and general systems ownership.
Clear, direct written and verbal communication.
HR leadership in services / agency / outboundsales / callcenterstyle environments where a significant portion of the workforce is hourly or lowersalaried.
Experience auditing HR to identify risks and areas of non-compliance, and turning findings into daytoday SOPs.
Prior experience using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) to research laws, draft policies, and triplecheck HR work.
Fully remote, collaborative, direct.
We move fast, value clear ownership, and are constantly improving how we operate.
We care about people and about protecting the businessgood HR for us is doing both well.
Our goal is to move quickly while being thoughtful. The process will likely include:

Founder Interview Culture, values, and alignment with our growth plans.
Paid Assessment A realistic exercise (e.g., turning a small slice of an HR audit into SOPs or identifying areas of non-compliance and suggestion resolutions) so we can see how you think and work.
