[Hiring] HR & Talent Manager @Rhythm

Role Description

We're looking for a hands-on HR & Talent Manager who thrives in dynamic, fast-moving environments and genuinely enjoys the full breadth of the people function. This is not a purely strategic role — you'll roll up your sleeves and own execution across hiring, performance, onboarding, and culture.

You're organized, people-first, and not afraid to build processes from scratch. You understand that in a growing company, how we hire, how we welcome new team members, and how we hold each other accountable defines who we are.

What You'll Own

• Hiring & Talent Acquisition
  • Partner with hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and build structured interview processes
  • Own the full-cycle recruiting pipeline — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing
  • Build and refine interview scorecards and consistent evaluation criteria across teams
  • Manage relationships with external recruiters and job platforms as needed
• Onboarding
  • Design and continuously improve a repeatable, engaging new hire onboarding experience
  • Coordinate logistics across teams to ensure new employees ramp quickly and feel welcomed
  • Gather feedback to iterate and improve the onboarding program over time
• Performance & Review Processes
  • Build and manage semi-annual or quarterly performance review cycles
  • Train managers on giving effective feedback and conducting productive reviews
  • Establish goal-setting frameworks (OKRs or equivalent) in partnership with leadership
  • Support managers in handling performance improvement plans when needed
• Culture & Employee Experience
  • Champion a cohesive, values-aligned culture as the company scales
  • Run employee engagement surveys and translate results into action
  • Organize team rituals, recognition programs, and culture touchpoints
  • Serve as a trusted, neutral resource for employee concerns and conflict resolution
• HR Operations
  • Maintain accurate employee records, compliance documentation, and HR systems
  • Manage benefits administration and open enrollment coordination
  • Ensure compliance with applicable labor laws and employment regulations
  • Own the employee handbook and keep policies current

Qualifications

• 3–6 years of HR management experience, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or fast-paced SMB environment
• Demonstrated experience owning hiring processes end-to-end — not just supporting them
• Track record building or improving HR programs from the ground up
• Strong interpersonal skills — you're approachable, trustworthy, and direct
• Comfort operating with ambiguity; you don't wait for a perfect playbook
• Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail
• Familiarity with HRIS platforms, ATS tools, and basic compliance requirements

Requirements

• Nice to Have
• Experience in healthcare, tech, or regulated industries
• PHR, SHRM-CP, or equivalent certification
• Experience supporting a remote or hybrid workforce
• Comfort with data — using metrics to tell the story of your HR programs

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k with company match)
• Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Work From Home
• Stock Option Plan
