Senior HR Manager

Being sick or injured is painful. Getting better shouldn’t be.

Most industries have been transformed by new technology. Healthcare is still waiting — and you can help change that.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: make healthcare accessible, transparent, and effortless for all. We put the consumer at the center, move fast and partner with forward-thinking providers to deliver software that makes care better, faster, and more human. This is work with real-world stakes — and you can help lead the way.

The Role

You're an experienced HR professional who balances day-to-day execution with operational rigor. You have owned core HR workflows across the employee lifecycle, including employee relations, performance cycles, compliance, compensation, benefits, and onboarding. You know what it takes to run programs cleanly and keep a growing team supported.

Partnering directly with our Head of G&A, you'll be the hands-on engine behind our People function. You look at practical HR challenges and design clear, reliable processes that keep things running smoothly. You understand how data, policy, and team needs intersect, and you enjoy turning strategy into reliable, well-executed operations.

You thrive as a solo operator within a collaborative G&A team. You see full ownership not as a burden but as an opportunity to move fast, take initiative, and run the HR function with a high degree of autonomy. You notice when a policy needs updating, a manager needs coaching, or a workflow needs streamlining, and you proactively drive the solution. You're a trusted partner who comfortably navigates sensitive matters with leaders, Finance, and Legal, bringing clarity, empathy, and structure to the team every day.

Location: Remote within the United States, with a preference for candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Travel: This role includes occasional travel to our San Francisco office based on business and team needs.
