Parafin is a Series C fintech company on a mission to help small businesses access financial tools through the platforms they already use. We partner with companies like DoorDash, Amazon, and Worldpay to embed capital and financial services directly into their ecosystems, handling all the complexity of underwriting, compliance, and customer service.
We're seeking an HR Business Partner to join our People team as the second member, working directly with our Head of People. This is a senior individual-contributor role with significant autonomy and cross-functional influence—no direct reports required. You'll own a broad scope spanning both hands-on HR operations and strategic people initiatives.
Key responsibilities include:
- Partner with the Head of People and business leaders to translate company priorities into people programs and processes
- Serve as a day-to-day advisor to managers on performance, coaching, and employee relations matters, operating independently on routine situations
- Own core HR operations end-to-end: onboarding/offboarding, leave administration, HRIS data integrity, and compliance recordkeeping
- Drive execution of performance review cycles, including calibration and manager enablement
- Administer compensation programs, including data hygiene, benchmarking, and cycle execution
- Shape policy development and ensure California employment law compliance
- Contribute to workforce planning and organizational design as the company scales
- Build and document scalable processes to support headcount growth
You'll need 6+ years of progressive HR experience, ideally at a high-growth startup, with demonstrated ability to operate independently as a senior IC. You should be equally comfortable with administrative execution and strategic HR work, have solid knowledge of employment law and HR compliance (California experience preferred), and possess sound judgment handling sensitive employee relations matters. Experience building processes from scratch and operating with ambiguity is essential.
Preferred qualifications include fintech or regulated industry experience, hands-on HRIS or performance platform experience (CultureAmp, 15Five, Rippling), PHR/SHRM-CP certification, compensation analysis expertise, and experience scaling a People function from a small team.
