What are the responsibilities and job description for the Human Resources Manager position at Data Airflow?
Role Overview
We’re searching for an HR Manager ready to shape the next stage of our company’s growth. This isn’t a back-office HR role — it’s a chance to architect the people strategy of a fast-scaling engineering and construction company operating across multiple states.
You’ll serve as both strategist and doer: designing HR systems from the ground up, guiding leaders through rapid growth, and ensuring our people feel supported, connected, and inspired. You’ll manage everything from compliance and talent acquisition to culture and performance management — all while helping us scale responsibly and retain our entrepreneurial edge.
This role requires someone who moves quickly, communicates clearly, and understands the balance between people and performance. If you thrive on building structure in dynamic environments and want to make a measurable impact on how a company grows — this is your seat at the table.
About Data Airflow
Data Airflow designs and builds large-scale mechanical cooling systems for AI data centers, HPC facilities, and crypto mining operations. We handle projects from 20MW to 300MW, delivering high-efficiency, turnkey solutions from design through commissioning.
We’re growing fast, and that means scaling our financial systems with the same precision and discipline that drive our engineering. We’re looking for an Assistant Controller who can help strengthen our accounting backbone, improve processes, and ensure financial accuracy as we expand into new markets.
What You'll Do
- Drive People Operations: Oversee day-to-day HR functions including onboarding, offboarding, benefits, payroll coordination, and HR compliance for multi-state teams.
- Lead Talent Acquisition: Build and manage recruitment strategies that attract top talent across engineering, construction, operations, and project management. Partner with department heads to forecast hiring needs and strengthen pipelines.
- Shape Culture and Engagement: Design programs that strengthen team connection, recognition, and retention. Lead initiatives around culture, DEI, and employee engagement.
- Build HR Infrastructure: Create and optimize HR systems, policies, and workflows that support growth and scalability. Introduce automation, documentation, and structure where needed.
- Partner with Leadership: Serve as a trusted advisor on organization design, workforce planning, and leadership development. Help define what “great” looks like at every level of the company.
- Performance and Growth: Develop frameworks for reviews, goal setting, and career development. Help managers identify high performers and provide tools for feedback and coaching.
- Compliance and Policy: Keep company policies current with federal and state employment laws. Manage documentation and training for safety, compliance, and workplace ethics.
- Support Expansion: Play a key role as we open new offices and onboard new markets. Ensure seamless integration of people, systems, and culture.
What You'll Bring
- Experience: 5 years in HR management or generalist roles, ideally within a fast-growing technical, construction, or manufacturing company.

- Operational Excellence: Proven record of managing complex HR operations across multiple states with accuracy and speed.
- Talent Leadership: Strong grasp of recruiting strategies, onboarding, and retention programs that keep top performers engaged.
- Compliance Expertise: Deep understanding of U.S. employment law, multi-state payroll, benefits administration, and workplace regulations.
- Systems Mindset: Hands-on experience with HRIS platforms, applicant tracking systems, and workflow automation tools.
- Builder’s Mentality: Excited to create, document, and refine HR processes from the ground up — not just maintain them.
- Soft Skills: High emotional intelligence, excellent communication, and a steady presence during high-growth transitions.
- Culture Fit: A genuine passion for people and a belief that high performance and humanity can coexist.
What We Offer
