HR Manager
Lead people operations and hiring strategy as UVT scales, owning the function the HR Executive role executes day to day.
As UVT grows past the point where people operations can run informally, someone needs to own the function at a strategic level, not just execute the day-to-day process. As HR Manager, you'll set hiring strategy, build out people operations as the team scales, and manage the HR function overall, including the HR Executive role that handles day-to-day execution.
What You'll Do
- Set hiring strategy across departments: where UVT needs to grow, what the hiring process should look like for each kind of role, and how to keep quality consistent as volume increases.
- Build and own people operations policy: compensation philosophy, performance review process, remote-work practices, the structural decisions a growing team needs.
- Manage and support the HR Executive role, providing direction on day-to-day hiring and onboarding execution.
- Partner with department leads (engineering, marketing, sales, delivery) to understand their actual hiring needs, not a generic headcount request.
- Handle complex or sensitive people situations that need manager-level judgment, not just process execution.
What We're Looking For
- Real HR leadership experience, ideally having built or scaled people operations at a growing company, not just executed an existing process.
- Comfortable setting policy and strategy, not only running process. This role needs judgment about what UVT's people function should actually look like, not just a playbook to follow.
- Experience managing a remote-first, distributed team's specific people challenges.
- Strong enough technical and agency-context understanding to set hiring strategy for roles across engineering, design, marketing, sales and delivery credibly.
Nice to have: experience building an HR function from an early stage specifically, experience in a technical/agency environment, compensation benchmarking experience.
What We Offer
Remote-first work, and genuine strategic ownership of how UVT hires and operates as a people organization, not execution of someone else's system.
