  • Act as a link between the CEO, COO, leadership, employees, and outside stakeholders.
  • Assist with HR and hiring efforts, with an emphasis on improving recruitment workflows and the employee journey.
  • Review existing processes, project visibility, and reporting tools, then refine them so they can scale with the business.
  • Work closely with the COO to assess priorities, monitor progress, and keep major initiatives aligned.
  • Help manage recruiting activity, including candidate screening, interview coordination, and assessment support.
  • Create and maintain internal communication approaches that encourage openness and engagement.
  • Support employee growth programs such as training, mentoring, and performance management structures.
  • Build executive summaries, internal updates, and KPI tracking dashboards.

  • Sound judgment, professionalism, and care when handling sensitive information.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment that changes quickly.
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build productive working relationships.
  • Hands-on experience with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Salesforce, and applicant tracking systems.

The ideal background includes 5 to 8 years of professional experience, with 2 to 3 years in a strategic, HR, or operations leadership capacity such as Chief of Staff, HR Business Partner, or Strategy Associate. Experience in a high-growth company or financial services setting is a plus.
