HR Lead

Emerson Croft is looking for an HR Lead to build a people-focused culture at a stealth-mode startup with clear product-market fit.

Our partner company is committed to working with a global team. A fully remote office lets them leverage talent from all across the world — but it doesn’t work without processes we can trust. That’s where you come in. As a remote HR Lead, you’ll be a process expert, a liaison, an innovator, and a beacon of sanity all in one. We’re looking for a people skills guru whose presence calms employees at all levels; someone who can enforce processes when they’re working, and optimize them when they aren’t. You’ll own training, take responsibility for cultural development, and act as a knowledge resource.

This startup is big enough to last, yet small enough that its processes haven’t calcified. This role demands in-depth knowledge of HR concepts, along with the creativity to apply them in new ways. If you’ve rolled up your sleeves and managed more than one major release in your day, you could excel here (especially if automation was involved).

The company’s remote culture encourages you to take the initiative, push back against leadership, and focus on deliverables. Working remotely, you’ll have near-total control over your time. Use your ops experience to make an impact — contact us about this role today.

1. Be an expert in the full-range of HR processes
2. Bring your amazing people skills to bear in training, developing, and retaining an amazing team
3. Design people operations across a wide range of roles-types, time zones, and cultures!
4. Create workflows that super-achieve the team’s SLAs
5. Work with management to gain context on projects and set expectations
6. Manage workforce culture design and development programs
7. Support, train, and coach both independent contributors and junior leaders
8. Manage issues with aplomb and keep the team cool in times of stress
9. Use technology to automate busywork and ensure that your team is as effective as possible

1. Minimum 7 years of experience in a global corporate environment
2. An expert in designing change management and people operations processes
3. Experienced with building teams
4. Proficient in written and spoken English
5. Fast to learn systems and processes
6. Proficient with system automation

Looking for an HR Lead to help grow a stealth-mode AI startup by joining their remote team.

Help to develop the team that will create their next-level AI-enabled technologies.

As a member of the team, you will need to be fiercely independent and self-directed. You will become obsessed with learning and personal growth, and will need to maintain high levels of self-discipline to avoid distractions atypical to the traditional office environment. Working for a startup is intense. Tasks will be ambiguous, and it will be up to you as the owner of a project to fully understand, research, and develop your solution.
