As a fully-remote company (our team spans across 8 states + Canada), we face exciting and unique challenges for you to tackle. This role will report directly to the Founder and CEO.

About you:

• You have 7+ years of experience in people roles at high-performing and venture-backed tech startups, with a deep understanding of this industry's unique challenges and opportunities.
• You've played a pivotal role in scaling organizations, particularly in Series B+ stages. You know what good looks like and are able to quickly put in place the basic foundations.
• You’re detail-oriented, yet fast-paced; you’re able to hold a high bar for work while still making quick decisions without all the data.
• Your expertise in compensation programs and benefits ensures that our employees are recognized and rewarded appropriately.
• You understand what it takes to attract, recruit, and retain highly skilled individuals in competitive markets.
• You can help foster a culture where we drive high performance and accountability throughout the organization.
• Operationalizing people-centric programs and systems is second nature to you, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
• You are excited to enable leadership development for our management team and ensure Squint’s leadership scales as it grows too.
  
  

Key responsibilities:

• Streamline people operations, taking into account what exists and has been created to-date but upgrading and replacing existing systems and processes where necessary.
• Help us continue to attract and retain world-class talent as we scale more rapidly than we have before.
• Define and communicate effective strategies for compensation, levels, and benefits in order to enable better talent acquisition, management, and retention.
• Be a part of organizational planning, providing insights on roles and budgets.
• Be a thought partner with the founding team and help scale our culture and values as the business continues to grow.
• Engage cross-functionally with the management team to align goals, strategies, and best practices.
• Ensure compliance with policies and regulations, taking advantage of the tools we have today. We use Rippling as our HRIS today. We have employees in 8 states as part of our US entity, we also have a Canadian subsidiary for our Canadian employees.
• Find ways to innovate and question the status quo as Squint grows, never settling for “that’s just the way things are supposed to be.”
