• This role is for the HR/People leader who has done the real work - built programs, fixed broken processes, led and developed teams, navigated hard situations - and you’re looking for a place where that experience can have real impact. You’re a player-coach at heart: you get genuine energy from developing the people on your team, and you’re equally energized by owning the operational work yourself. Tekmetric moves fast - and we mean it. Priorities shift, decisions happen quickly, and the expectation is that you move with the business, not behind it. If you thrive in an environment where the ground is always moving and you see that as a feature, keep reading. Here’s what we’re looking for: • 10+ years of progressive People/HR experience • Proven experience leading an HR/People team in a high-growth SaaS company, scaling through 40–60%+ YoY headcount growth • high-growth SaaS company • Employee relations, compliance, benefits, compensation, performance management, and HR operations • Compensation benchmarking, leveling, and benefits program design (total rewards) • HCM/HRIS platforms (Rippling would be a big plus), data integrity, reporting, and AI tools • Multi-state workforce management, with international exposure preferred • Proven experience leading a team of 4-5 direct reports and developing HR/People professionals as a player-coach • Proven experience operating independently, anticipate business needs, and designing scalable solutions • Builder's mentality - operating at both strategic and hands-on levels • Highly analytical and data-driven, with hands-on experience leveraging data to guide decisions • Strong judgment in sensitive situations, confidentiality, and decisiveness • Executive presence and business acumen • Strong judgment in employee relations and compliance. • SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR is a nice-to-have, not a requirement. What matters is the track record, the judgment, and the genuine excitement to help Tekmetric build something great - and make our people operations a true competitive advantage as we scale.
