• Help establish consistent practices across U.S.-based and offshore teams.
• Evaluate and improve HR tools, workflows, and reporting.
  
  

Manager Support & Employee Relations

• Serve as a trusted advisor to managers on employee relations, performance, communication, and team dynamics.

• Support a workplace culture built on accountability, respect, ownership, and collaboration.
• Handle sensitive employee matters with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment.
  
  

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding

• Partner with leadership and hiring managers to define role requirements, hiring priorities, and interview processes.
• Improve recruiting workflows, candidate experience, job descriptions, interview guides, and offer processes.
• Coordinate onboarding programs that help new employees quickly understand Get Covered’s business, culture, tools, and expectations.
• Ensure onboarding is consistent across departments and locations.
• Support workforce planning as the company scales.
  
  

Performance Management & Employee Development

• Design and manage practical performance review processes, including 90-day reviews, annual reviews, and manager feedback cycles.
• Help establish clear role expectations, goals, and career development frameworks.
• Support managers in identifying high performers, performance gaps, and development opportunities.
• Assist with performance improvement plans when needed.
• Promote a culture of continuous feedback and accountability.
  
  

Culture, Engagement & Communication

• Help protect and scale the culture that has helped Get Covered grow.
• Develop employee engagement initiatives, pulse surveys, feedback channels, and internal communication rhythms.
• Partner with leadership to improve transparency, alignment, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Support company meetings, employee communications, recognition programs, and culture-building activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve employee experience without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
  
  

Qualifications

• 7 years of progressive HR, People Operations, or Human Resources experience.
• Strong knowledge of employee relations, performance management, onboarding, and employment compliance.
