Senior People Lead

Summary

Join Trellis, a fast-growing Series A startup, as an emerging leader in Human Resources. You will elevate how the company attracts, develops, and retains top talent by working closely with senior leadership to define and execute a People strategy. This includes full employment lifecycle programs and processes, from talent acquisition and onboarding to professional development and employee engagement. You will need to consider the unique needs of different teams within the organization. The role requires significant experience in building people organizations within rapidly growing companies, strategic thinking, and the ability to execute independently. Trellis offers a fully remote work environment, competitive compensation, and a variety of benefits.

Requirements

• 6+ years professional experience in a startup or growth stage business
• First hand experience building a people organization for rapid growth, ideally one with a “dual track” structure (e.g., corporate + agency)
• Strategic acumen and outcome orientation; you know that the People function drives real, tangible business value and you can craft strategies around that
• Ability to take an ambiguous problem, independently craft a work plan around it, and execute against that plan for 3-4 weeks at a time
• Adaptability and empathy to build rapport with individuals in diverse functional areas and develop a deep understanding of their world
• High energy, positive demeanor – you’ll often be the first face people see when they get introduced to Trellis and a regular “go-to” for team members at all levels
• Low ego and a willingness to roll up your sleeves

Responsibilities

• Work across the entire business, with teams like engineering, analytics and consumer operations
• Co-develop and manage hiring plans to attract and hire high-performing individuals who align with our company culture and values
• Design and implement performance management programs, including goal-setting, performance reviews, career-pathing, and professional development
• Enhance our employee engagement program, making it a selling point for new employees
• Take ownership of running our total rewards / employee benefits program
• Implement strategies with consideration for the unique make-up of our workforce (i.e., traditional startup technical & business teams plus a fast-growing insurance sales team)
• Be the subject matter expert for People-related compliance and own the day-to-day
