What we’re looking for:
- HR Generalist Experience: Proven track record in building or restructuring HR environments within small to mid-sized, founder-led organizations.
- Emotional Intelligence: Demonstrate calmness, groundedness, and high emotional intelligence, especially when interacting with leadership and handling sensitive issues.
- Leadership & Integrity: Confidently push back on leadership when necessary while maintaining high integrity and follow-through.
- Cultural Compatibility: Comfortable and effective in a Christian-forward environment, supporting the firm's faith-based culture and values.
- Risk Management Skill: Experience in identifying and managing HR-related legal risks, ensuring consistent documentation, and strategic escalation.
