• Develop and manage a contractor engagement strategy, including contract negotiation, performance tracking, and retention initiatives.

• Oversee compliance with global labor laws and regulations for a remote, distributed workforce.

• Analyze and optimize workflows to support business growth, ensuring we remain agile and scalable.

• Partner with team leads on workforce planning, performance management, and data-driven decision-making.

• Manage all People communications, responding promptly to inquiries and maintaining HR systems and ticketing processes.

• Own end-to-end hiring processes, including refining talent acquisition strategies and leveraging data to enhance recruitment outcomes.

• Lead and develop a small HR team, ensuring we meet our quarterly and annual goals.

• 5+ years of HR experience, with a focus on workforce management, freelance teams, or contractor-heavy environments.

• Experience managing a large, distributed workforce (e.g., freelancers, gig workers, global remote teams).

• Proven ability to build and implement HR processes from scratch, ensuring scalability and efficiency.

• Strong understanding of freelancer engagement best practices, compliance, and workforce planning.

• Analytical mindset, with experience using data to drive HR strategy and decision-making.

• Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Exceptional stakeholder management skills—able to partner with leadership teams and support cross-functional initiatives.

• Experience with HR technology, workforce planning tools, and global payroll platforms.

• A self-starter who takes ownership, thrives independently and can lead effectively in a remote-first company.
