Position Overview
We are growing fast and want to hire our first Human Resources leader. We are searching for someone energetic and fun who can create the people strategy and culture we need to thrive and grow.

We need someone to design and implement practices to help us attract, train, organize, motivate, and reward our employees. We have some of the basics in place today—payroll, benefits, compliance, etc.—though we want you to review what we have and figure out how to make it better.

While we need someone experienced to manage the basics, we also want someone enthusiastic and strategic to design our people practices—performance management, employee development, recruitment, selection, growth plans, and culture.

This position will report to the CEO and will be based in Denver. If you have the knowledge to do the basics and the ability to help create our future, we want to talk with you.
