The opportunity

Osmind is hiring a Director, People Operations to own day-to-day People Operations, report directly into the co-founder/CEO, and manage our in-house Recruiter as we continue to scale. This role is the execution and accountability layer for core HR programs (performance, manager enablement, employee experience, compliance, and workforce planning), ensuring work is well-scoped, owners are clear, and follow-through is consistent. You’ll bring strong judgment, clear communication, and a practical, high-trust approach, helping leaders and teams do their best work without unnecessary bureaucracy.

Responsibilities

Be the steady HR business partner in the moments that matter: coach managers through performance and team dynamics, navigate employee relations with care, and handle sensitive issues with consistency and sound judgment.

Partner with the CEO to navigate unprecedented company growth: help us scale Osmind in a sustainable manner that preserves our culture. Find ways to drive workforce efficiency, such as designing an industry-best program to upskill our employee base and drive positive cultural change around AI adoption.

Lead workforce planning and hiring discipline alongside leadership team and managers: maintain headcount plans and scenarios to drive a scalable hiring strategy that holds the bar high while balancing budget, business need, and urgency.

Serve as an internal “emcee”, culture carrier, and steward of employee experience: partner with the CEO and leaders to shape and support key internal moments—bringing a clear, high-energy voice to energize and motivate our employee base. Build cultural programs that maintain our track record of strong employee retention.

Run high-trust people programs end-to-end: deliver people initiatives ranging from performance cycles, offsite get-togethers, to benefits renewals. Ensure the initiatives are clear, fair, and lightweight so managers and teams know what “good” looks like.

Ensure operational excellence and compliance: keep payroll, benefits/leave, and policies accurate and on time; own QA and escalation paths with vendors/legal.

Lead recruiting operations and employee experience through the People team: manage our in-house recruiter, holding yourself accountable for talent outcomes. When times are busy, step in as talent partner for select roles, owning full-cycle recruiting: from sourcing, to recruiter screens, offer issuance, to overall pipeline movement.

Own the SF in-office experience (2 days/week): run office operations and logistics so in-person time is consistent, productive, and genuinely worth showing up for.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role looks like balancing the business's needs with cultivating strong employee experience. You bring real discipline to workforce management, giving leadership & managers decision-ready options and keeping the company aligned on priorities and tradeoffs. You're on top of the latest workforce trends…
