- • Own the full employee lifecycle—from crafting inclusive job descriptions and sourcing diverse talent pipelines to orchestrating seamless onboarding, performance management, and off-boarding—ensuring every touch-point reflects Anzu’s culture of curiosity, rigor, and shared success.
- • Build and continuously refine scalable HR systems and processes (HRIS, ATS, document repositories, compliance trackers) that allow a lean team to support portfolio companies and internal staff spread across multiple time zones and jurisdictions.
- • Partner directly with investment partners and founders to translate high-growth business roadmaps into head-count plans, compensation bands, and leadership-development programs that attract world-class scientists, engineers, and operators.
- • Design and deliver remote-first engagement initiatives—monthly all-hands, virtual coffee chats, recognition programs, and learning circles—that keep culture vibrant and knowledge flowing despite physical distance.
- • Administer competitive, data-driven compensation and benefits programs; benchmark against venture-capital and deep-tech peers twice yearly and present actionable insights to the Executive Committee.
- • Ensure airtight compliance with federal, state, and international employment regulations (US, EU, APAC) and shepherd annual audits, EEO-1 filings, 401(k) discrimination testing, and state registrations for new remote hires.
- • Curate and deliver learning content on leadership, DEI, and functional excellence; source external facilitators, negotiate contracts, and measure ROI to guarantee every training dollar advances strategic goals.
- • Act as a trusted coach to managers on sensitive issues—performance gaps, conflict resolution, accommodations, and terminations—balancing empathy with fiduciary responsibility to the firm and its investors.
- • Produce crisp, board-ready HR dashboards that translate people metrics (turnover, engagement, diversity, time-to-fill) into narratives that inform investment diligence and portfolio support priorities.
- • Spearhead ad-hoc projects such as implementing a global mobility policy for portfolio executives, launching an internship pipeline with top research universities, or piloting a sabbatical program for long-tenured employees.
- • Champion Anzu’s ESG commitments by embedding sustainability and social-impact goals into employee goal-setting, vendor selection, and annual reporting.
- • Collaborate with Marketing & IR teams to showcase Anzu’s employer brand at industry conferences, podcasts, and university forums, positioning the firm as the destination for mission-driven talent.
- • Maintain strict confidentiality and discretion when handling cap-table-related compensation data, investor correspondence, and proprietary diligence materials.
🎯 Requirements
- • 2–4 years of progressive HR experience in venture capital, private equity, high-growth tech, or professional-services environments; exposure to portfolio support is a strong plus.
- • Demonstrated fluency with modern HRIS (Rippling, Gusto, BambooHR, or similar) and applicant-tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby); advanced Excel and Google-Sheets skills for compensation modeling.
- • Working knowledge of multi-state and international employment law, including FLSA, ADA, FMLA, GDPR, and emerging remote-work regulations.
