About the Role

We are looking for an experienced HR Generalist to join us on a part-time basis and own the HR function at BOD. This is not a coordinator role, and it is not an administrative support position. You will be our primary HR practitioner, working directly with the CEO and operations leadership to keep our people function running at a high level. The scope is real: full-cycle recruiting, compliance, HRIS administration, employee relations, and executive HR reporting. You will be the person our team turns to when they have an HR question — and the person leadership relies on to flag risks before they become problems. The ideal candidate has 3–5 years of hands-on generalist experience, has operated as a solo or small-team HR practitioner before, and is looking for meaningful part-time work with genuine ownership.

This is a great fit for someone who is excellent at the craft of HR and wants flexibility without sacrificing impact.

What You’ll OwnRecruiting & Talent Acquisition
  • Manage our ATS (TeamTailor) end-to-end: post roles, manage candidate pipelines, coordinate interviews, and own the offer process through signed letter

  • Partner with hiring managers to build structured interview guides, role scorecards, and evaluation rubrics

  • Source proactively for hard-to-fill roles using LinkedIn, job boards, and referral networks

  • Track and report on sourcing channel effectiveness, time to fill, time to hire, and offer acceptance rate

  • Manage job board and ATS vendor relationships, including billing and feature troubleshooting

Compliance & Risk Management
  • Monitor federal and state employment law changes affecting our multi-state, remote workforce

  • Maintain I-9 records and ensure ongoing compliance with employment eligibility verification requirements

  • Ensure proper worker classification (W-2, 1099, EOR) in coordination with finance and outside counsel when needed

  • Own and maintain the employee handbook and policy library - keep policies current, clear, and consistently applied

  • Manage Employer of Record (EOR) vendor relationships for contractor and international placements

HRIS & People Operations
  • Own the HiBob platform: employee records, onboarding and offboarding workflows, time-off policy configurations, and data integrity

  • Run new hire onboarding end-to-end: documentation, systems access coordination, 30/60/90-day check-ins

  • Manage offboarding: exit documentation, exit interviews, COBRA notices, and final pay coordination

  • Ensure clean, accurate data across HRIS, payroll, and benefits systems

Employee Relations & Culture
  • Serve as the first point of contact for employee questions on policy, benefits, PTO, and workplace concerns

  • Support managers navigating performance conversations, cross-project feedback, and difficult employee situations

  • Help design and implement scalable processes for structured feedback in a matrixed engineering environment

  • Surface early warning signs - retention risks, engagement patterns, and culture friction - to leadership

HR Reporting & Metrics
  • Publish a monthly HR scorecard for executive review

  • Own and continuously improve core metrics:

    • Time to Fill

    • Time to Hire

    • 90-Day Retention Rate

    • Voluntary Turnover Rate

    • Offer Acceptance Rate

    • Internal Mobility Rate

    • Average Tenure at Separation

  • Translate data into insights — not just numbers, but what they mean and what to do about them

What We’re Looking ForRequired
  • 3–5 years of experience as an HR Generalist or HR Coordinator — you have done recruiting, compliance, and people ops, not just one of them

  • Demonstrated experience owning full-cycle recruiting independently, from intake through offer

  • Working knowledge of employment law fundamentals: FLSA, ADA, FMLA, I-9, and multi-state compliance nuances

  • Experience as a solo or near-solo HR practitioner in a company of 20–150 people

  • Proficiency with an ATS and an HRIS platform — you are not afraid of new tools and can figure them out quickly

  • Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a clear policy, a compassionate employee email, and an executive-ready report

  • US-based and legally authorized to work without sponsorship

Preferred
  • Experience with TeamTailor (our ATS) or HiBob (our HRIS)

  • Background in professional services, consulting, tech, or a similarly fast-paced environment

  • PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP certification — or active pursuit of one

  • Familiarity with Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements and contractor classification considerations

  • Experience supporting a distributed, remote-first workforce across multiple states

This Is Not the Right Role If You…
  • Need significant direction and a detailed playbook to operate — we will give you context and trust, not micromanagement

  • Are looking primarily for HR administration support work — this role requires judgment, not just execution

  • Are looking for a role that will grow to full-time in the near term — we intend this to remain part-time for the foreseeable future (though we are open to revisiting as the company grows)

Benefits:

  • Fully remote

  • Flexible Schedule

  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)

  • Paid parental/bereavement leave

  • Worldwide recognized clients to build skills for an excellent resume

  • Top-notch team to learn and grow with

Salary: 25 - 35 USD / Hourly

Background checks may be required for certain positions/projects.
