[Hiring] Human Resources Lead @Cortico.ai

YDay - Cortico.ai is hiring a remote Human Resources Lead. 💸 Salary: $75,000 – $85,000 📍Location: USA

Role Description

Cortico seeks an HR Lead to own the full employee lifecycle — from recruiting and onboarding through performance management, benefits administration, and offboarding — while serving as a trusted resource for our team and a culture champion across the organization.

  • This role works closely with the VP of Operations and reports into the Operations function.
  • You’ll manage our relationship with Insperity, our PEO, and handle the day-to-day mechanics of HR with care and precision.
  • You’ll help us hire well, develop our people, and build a workplace where everyone feels seen and supported.
  • One week you might be running a recruiting process; the next you’re coordinating open enrollment, facilitating a performance conversation, or helping plan a team retreat.

This role is right for someone who genuinely enjoys people operations — the details and the human moments both.

The estimated pay range for this role is $75,000 – $85,000. Where you land on our range depends on your unique background and experience and where you live. We have competitive benefits which can be found here .

Our team members must be based in the U.S. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visas at this time.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of HR experience, ideally in a nonprofit or mission-driven organization.
  • Demonstrated experience across recruiting, onboarding, benefits, performance management, and offboarding.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, keep systems running, and hold the details without dropping the ball.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to know when to escalate, when to act, and how to navigate sensitive people situations with discretion.

Requirements

  • Organized and detail-oriented without being rigid.
  • Comfortable in a PEO environment (or ready to learn).
  • Cares about culture and brings ideas for how to make it better.
  • Sees the big picture and loves wearing multiple hats.
  • Has worked alongside or in support of a software engineering or tech-related team.
  • Cares about the work and Cortico’s commitment to equity, inclusion, and community-centered practice.

Responsibilities

  • Lead recruiting processes end-to-end — from job description through offer — in partnership with hiring managers.
  • Own new hire onboarding and oversee employee promotions, transitions, and offboarding.
  • Process payroll and manage benefits administration through Insperity, our PEO, serving as the primary relationship manager.
  • Support annual open enrollment, compensation increases, and market benchmarking.
  • Maintain employee records, manage our ATS, and ensure compliance with employment law across the employee lifecycle.
  • Serve as the first point of contact for HR-related questions from staff.
  • Own the performance review cycle and support managers on performance conversations, documentation, and development.
  • Coordinate recurring culture touchpoints — all-team syncs, team celebrations, staff retreats — and help foster a connected, inclusive team environment.
  • Spearhead DEIB and values initiatives in partnership with the VP of Operations.
  • Support the VP of Operations on board governance activities, including the annual Conflict of Interest survey and the CEO review process.
  • Support the VP of Operations on operations activities, as needed.

Preferred

  • Professional certification in HR (PHR, SHRM-CP, or equivalent).
