Join us to take ownership of a people foundation already in motion - and scale it alongside a company that moves fast and builds for the real world.
Role Overview:
As UnitX's Senior HR Manager, you will take ownership of the HR function and scale it as we grow. You will partner directly with the Co-Founder & CEO and Head of Talent to grow the core HR function. Beyond core HR, you will own the operational cadence of the leadership team - running weekly leadership OKR cadences, and keeping leadership aligned and accountable.
What You'll Do:
- You will own and scale the HR function - compliance, benefits administration, payroll coordination, leave management, and immigration support for NA.
- You will roll out and maintain global leveling and career frameworks, creating consistency and clarity for employees at every stage.
- You will run onboarding and offboarding end to end, setting the standard for how UnitX welcomes and transitions people.
- You will drive performance review cycles and build the infrastructure for managers to deliver high-quality, consistent feedback.
- You will run the weekly global leadership meeting - owning the agenda, capturing action items, and driving accountability across the leadership team.
- You will plan and execute value building and retention initiatives, including company offsites, leadership summits, all-hands events, and team activities from logistics to on-the-day execution.
- You will collaborate with the CEO, Head of Talent, and Finance to keep people programs aligned with business priorities and budget.
- You will coordinate with regional HR leaders in our offices across the world to unify a global talent policy & playbook.
- You will operate with high autonomy, making judgment calls quickly and building processes that are lightweight but durable.
Who You Are:
- You are a builder, not a maintainer. As UnitX's first dedicated HR hire, you're energized by the blank page and excited to leave your fingerprints on a company that moves fast.
- 5-7+ years of hands-on HR or People Operations experience - you've owned an HR function before, not just supported one.
- Comfortable coordinating HR across global, distributed teams with different regional requirements.
- Strong event planning and logistics coordination skills - you can run an offsite without dropping a detail.
- Operationally sharp - you like owning systems, closing loops, and keeping people organized and accountable.
- Experience building leveling frameworks or career ladders
- Experience supporting immigration and visa processes for a global workforce.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary & equity
- Full Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k
- Daily meals provided with your own choice
