About the role

  • The vision is to help consumers save money by increasing transparency.
  • But your instincts don't stop at HR: you think in systems generally, and you've done real systems and process work across a business, not just within a people team.
  • You bring genuinely unconventional thinking about people and systems: you're not here to replay a playbook from somewhere else, and you're comfortable questioning whether the standard approach is even right for a company like Photon.

Responsibilities

  • You'd rather write a script or prototype a tool than manage another spreadsheet.
  • Photon should feel as good to work at 80 people as it does at 20, and that doesn't happen by accident at scale; it happens because someone designed for it.

Compensation

  • The estimated base salary for this role is $180,000 - $210,000 USD annually.
  • Actual compensation will depend on skills, qualifications, and experience, and includes equity and benefits.
  • At our stage, we place significant value on equity as part of total compensation.

Benefits

  • this function will look very different at 150 people than it does today, and you're as comfortable holding that longer-term vision as you are executing whatever the current stage actually requires.

Company info

  • Who We're Looking For You've built people systems, processes, and ideally a whole function from scratch before - not just run one you inherited.
  • Every person at Photon is responsible for the culture and vibe we've built here - but you're the one enabling it through systems.
  • High trust, high standards, and people who actually like spending time together Our Values ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ€ Be a Pizza Rat - We're ambitious subway dwellers.
  • The rocket isn't our mission. ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Seek Buried Treasure - We're digging in unexpected places.
