HR Manager

Responsibilities

• Culture and Engagement
• Serve as the cultural connective tissue of the organization — bridging the gap between stated values and lived experience, building intentional culture for a hybrid team
• Design and drive programming, moments, and rhythms that foster genuine cross-functional connection, not just project-based interaction
• Track engagement signals and act on them before they become retention risks
• Performance Management
• Build a performance management process that is simple enough to use consistently and meaningful enough to actually drive growth
• Establish clarity around performance conversations — what they're for, how they're structured, and how they connect to compensation and growth decisions
• Coach managers through difficult conversations and performance concerns; develop their capability, not just their compliance
• Transform the review cycle from an administrative obligation into a meaningful development tool
• Talent and Recruiting
• Own full-cycle recruiting for an attrition-driven hiring plan, coordinating contract recruiters as volume requires
• Maintain a high bar on candidate quality and fit while moving with the speed the business demands
• Build and protect a candidate experience that accurately reflects who TextUs is
• HR Operations
• Run day-to-day HR operations across benefits, compliance, employee relations, onboarding, and offboarding with efficiency and accuracy
• Identify and implement automation and workflow improvements that reduce manual lift and increase consistency
• Support executive and operational coordination needs — board logistics, travel, events — with discretion and reliability
• Own HRIS data integrity and produce reporting that informs people decisions
• Thought Leadership and Strategic Partnership
• Bring the people perspective to leadership proactively — surface risks, flag patterns, and offer recommendations before they're asked for
• Come prepared with a point of view and options: assess the situation, frame the choices, and make a clear recommendation
• Balance a fast-moving, execution-focused leadership team with a steady, longer-view perspective on people and culture
• Build credibility as a trusted internal resource on retention, team health, and people operations as the company grows

Who You Are

• 6+ years HR experience (3+ in standalone/generalist/people ops at similar company size/stage) with a background in high-growth SaaS or tech
• Proven ability to own full employee lifecycle (onboarding → offboarding) and end-to-end people experience
• Fully fluent in ADP or comparable HRIS; experienced improving and automating HR processes
• Equally effective as a strategic executive thought partner and hands-on HR administrator
• Full-cycle recruiting, independent or coordinating with contract recruiters as needed
• Strong critical thinker who identifies problems and recommends solutions proactively
• Handles sensitive/confidential matters with discretion; knows when to act, escalate, or listen
• Navigates hard conversations (performance, exits, org change) with directness and empathy; coaches managers to do the same
• Track record of intentionally building culture for hybrid/distributed teams
• Highest level of self-direction; owns the function, sets priorities, drives work independently
• SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP certification preferred
• Denver-based, with the ability to come into the office as needed; in-person expectations may increase as the team and office footprint grow
