This is a foundational hire at a well-funded AI company working on recursive acceleration toward artificial superintelligence.
You will own all aspects of people operations as the organization scales from early stage. Working closely with the Founding Recruiter and leadership team, you'll design and implement core HR systems and processes from the ground up.
Key responsibilities include:
- Onboarding & Offboarding: Design and execute seamless onboarding experiences that set new hires up for success, plus professional offboarding protocols.

- Performance & Career Development: Work with leadership to define and implement feedback loops, performance reviews, and career growth frameworks.
- Workplace Benefits: Research, pitch, and establish a competitive benefits plan that keeps the company competitive as an employer.
- Culture & Employee Experience: Lead internal communications for people initiatives, direct the annual team retreat, and develop programs that drive engagement, retention, and growth.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives building HR infrastructure from scratch at early-stage startups, has prior experience in people ops at Series A or B companies, and believes in high-trust, engaging workplace cultures. You should be comfortable with ambiguity, enjoy cross-functional collaboration, and have a passion for supporting teams through rapid growth.
