## About the role

Coast hired its first people operations lead two years ago to stand up the basics: benefits, onboarding, policies, and the day-to-day experience of the Coast offices. Since then, Coast has grown its total funding to $135 million and its team to about 130 people across two offices: our New York City headquarters, home to roughly two thirds of the team, and our sales and operations office in Utah. The People function now needs to grow with the company. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Keep Coast's culture intact as headcount grows past the size where culture happens by accident
- Lead team events, office experience, and company traditions in both New York and Utah, so the Utah team has the same access to leadership, information, and career paths as the headquarters team
- Run engagement surveys and other feedback loops, and turn what you hear into action
- 10+ years in People/HR roles, including experience leading a People function at a high-growth startup that has successfully scaled beyond Coast's current stage of maturity
- Track record designing compensation philosophy, pay bands, and equity strategy, and running comp cycles that scale with headcount
- Experience coaching managers through performance, promotion, and org design decisions, and building manager enablement programs where none existed
