HR & Talent Manager

Rhythm
Boston, MA

We're looking for a hands-on HR & Talent Manager who thrives in dynamic, fast-moving environments and genuinely enjoys the full breadth of the people function. This is not a purely strategic role — you'll roll up your sleeves and own execution across hiring, performance, onboarding, and culture.

You're organized, people-first, and not afraid to build processes from scratch. You understand that in a growing company, how we hire, how we welcome new team members, and how we hold each other accountable defines who we are.

What You'll Own

Hiring & Talent Acquisition

  • Partner with hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and build structured interview processes
  • Own the full-cycle recruiting pipeline — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing
  • Build and refine interview scorecards and consistent evaluation criteria across teams
  • Manage relationships with external recruiters and job platforms as needed

Onboarding

  • Design and continuously improve a repeatable, engaging new hire onboarding experience
  • Coordinate logistics across teams to ensure new employees ramp quickly and feel welcomed
  • Gather feedback to iterate and improve the onboarding program over time

Performance & Review Processes

  • Build and manage semi-annual or quarterly performance review cycles
  • Train managers on giving effective feedback and conducting productive reviews
  • Establish goal-setting frameworks (OKRs or equivalent) in partnership with leadership
  • Support managers in handling performance improvement plans when needed

Culture & Employee Experience

  • Champion a cohesive, values-aligned culture as the company scales
  • Run employee engagement surveys and translate results into action
  • Organize team rituals, recognition programs, and culture touchpoints
  • Serve as a trusted, neutral resource for employee concerns and conflict resolution

HR Operations

  • Maintain accurate employee records, compliance documentation, and HR systems
  • Manage benefits administration and open enrollment coordination
  • Ensure compliance with applicable labor laws and employment regulations
  • Own the employee handbook and keep policies current

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of HR management experience, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or fast-paced SMB environment
  • Demonstrated experience owning hiring processes end-to-end — not just supporting them
  • Track record building or improving HR programs from the ground up
  • Strong interpersonal skills — you're approachable, trustworthy, and direct
  • Comfort operating with ambiguity; you don't wait for a perfect playbook
  • Highly organized with strong follow-through and attention to detail
  • Familiarity with HRIS platforms, ATS tools, and basic compliance requirements

Nice to Have

  • Experience in healthcare, tech, or regulated industries
  • PHR, SHRM-CP, or equivalent certification
  • Experience supporting a remote or hybrid workforce
  • Comfort with data — using metrics to tell the story of your HR programs

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k with company match)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Work From Home
  • Stock Option Plan
