Embed in the Business: Get deep on how Honeydew operates — the teams, the growth levers, the org dependencies.
Uplevel Leadership: Implement a structured coaching and training framework to transform our "people managers" into "people leaders."
Operational Backbone: Own HR fundamentals, people data + metrics, and leveling frameworks.
Advisor & Coach: Act as a strategic partner to our leads, bringing a coaching mindset to performance management and team dynamics.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Rapid Scale Experience: You’ve been in the trenches during a 100 > 500+ employee growth spurt at a tech or tech-enabled company and know exactly what breaks at each stage. Ideally more than once.
Tech Workforce Expertise: You have meaningful experience supporting both non-exempt and exempt workforces - with non-exempt being a significant part of your background - in a tech or tech-enabled environment.
Business Acumen: You understand how companies operate - revenue drivers, team dependencies, org design tradeoffs.
Project Mastery: You own multiple concurrent workstreams without dropping balls. You drive initiatives from inception to completion and build scalable processes as readily as you execute tactical one-offs.
Creative Problem Solving: You don’t just follow the HR handbook; you proactively anticipate potential issues and think like a business operator when solving people challenges.
High EQ & Grit: You thrive in high-stress situations, manage ambiguity with ease, and can have difficult conversations that leave people feeling supported.
Systems Ownership: Hands-on experience administering Justworks (or equivalent PEO), and HRIS systems - you’ve owned these platforms, not just used them.
