The Role

Pushnami | Austin, TX | 20-30 hours/week | Hybrid

About the Opportunity

We're returning to our startup roots after learning that corporate complexity doesn't equal success. As a profitable, 28-person push notification and subscriptoin platform processing 500M+ daily messages, we're seeking a fractional People Operations leader who believes great companies are built through focus, not bureaucracy.

Your Mission

Partner with our CEO to create an environment where talented people do their best work. You'll streamline HR operations, champion performance excellence, and help us maintain the entrepreneurial spirit that made us successful.

  • Make thoughtful, swift decisions on people matters with CEO partnership
  • Support our Austin office culture while respecting flexible work arrangements
  • Focus resources on high performers and business-critical initiatives

You'll Thrive Here If You

  • Believe the best HR when enabling work, not creating process
  • Have successfully simplified complex systems while improving outcomes
  • Use modern tools and AI to multiply your effectiveness
  • Can balance compassion with business necessity
  • Prefer solving real problems over implementing "best practices"
  • Value clear, direct communication over corporate diplomacy

What We Offer

  • Competitive fractional compensation for 20-30 hours/week
  • Direct CEO partnership with real decision-making authority
  • Freedom to eliminate unnecessary process
  • Opportunity to shape a growing company's culture
  • Flexible schedule with occasional Austin office presence

To Apply

  2. Your approach to supporting high performers in a small team
  3. How you currently use AI or automation in your work
