Principal, Talent Operations at Human Capital

Now we’re looking for a Principal on our Talent Operations team to help write our next chapter.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for individuals who have a knack for organizing and streamlining systems and processes. You’ll partner closely with our internal talent team and portfolio companies to build talent infrastructure from the ground up.

The Talent Operations team plays an essential role in our portfolio companies’ (and ultimately our firm’s) success. We act as versatile talent “consultants”, with work varying on a daily basis – from researching benefits programs to analyzing compensation bands to process mapping the end-to-end employee lifecycle. We have the unique opportunity of working on a breadth of topics unlike that in any other role, all while partnering with different experts in the talent space and working on all different stages of companies.

If you’re inherently drawn to the startup world, intrigued by venture, and a builder at heart—we’d love to talk.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Support a team of talent operating partners, who are charged with scaling our portfolio companies with the best people.
• Act as a thought partner with our talent leaders to drive toward optimal outcomes for our portfolio companies and build affinity with founders.
• Lay the foundation for our portfolio companies’ recruitment processes.
• Implement systems (e.g., sourcing tools, applicant tracking systems) that provide for our companies’ unique talent needs.
• Build reporting and analytics to drive actionable insights and to promote adherence to process changes.
• Research best practices and keep up with industry trends to ensure our portfolio companies are set up for success.
• Proactively problem-solve general talent-related issues to drive toward solutions that can be leveraged across our portfolio companies as we continue to scale.

YOUR PAST

We expect you to have done some of these things, but it’s not required that you’ve done all of them

• You have at least 4 years of operations experience - in consulting, data analytics, recruiting operations, and/or HR operations.
• You’ve built out, improved upon, and scaled processes.
• You’ve built reporting and/or analytics in Excel, Google Sheets, or similar environments and know how to interpret insights from data.
• You’ve worked in fast-paced and/or ambiguous environments.
• You’re a chameleon - can flex into different projects at any point. 
• You’re able to prioritize across multiple work efforts at a time.
• You have prior experience in recruiting operations and/or in human capital consulting.
• In past roles, you’ve demonstrated close attention to detail, and excellent written/verbal communication skills.

YOUR MINDSET

• You love organizing: Planners, color-coding your calendar, Marie Kondo’ing your life, setting up the group itinerary for a trip, whatever; you love organization, and genuinely enjoy helping others get their “house” in order. 
• You’re a team player:  You’re always willing to roll up your sleeves; no matter who you are helping, you do whatever it takes to get the job done. No job is too small! You’re a people person and enjoy interacting with diverse groups of people across roles and levels.
• You’re methodical: You take pride in being able to systematically think through all the implications of a decision, and you can think through how each decision affects all stakeholders.
• You’re process-driven: You like routine and order, so much so that you can rally your peers around “following the plan.” 
• You’re passionate about tech: You love researching emerging technology and venture, and are excited to interact with the companies we’ve invested in.
• You have an ownership mentality: If a task is assigned to you, there is no question that you will get it done. You love taking initiative on projects with a high degree of responsibility and complexity
• You recognize that details are critical: You are comfortable rolling up your sleeves on any initiative big or small.
