## About the role

At PLACE, we're building a category-defining company at the intersection of real estate, technology, business services, and the consumer. As a profitable, hypergrowth startup, on the path to an IPO, our standards are high, our team is scrappy, and our commitment is to execute the best work of our lives.

## What they're looking for

- Serve as the primary HR point of contact for W2 employees embedded in assigned RE Teams, providing guidance on policies, benefits, and workplace concerns
- Manage and resolve complex employee relations issues arising on RE Teams, conducting thorough, objective investigations even when day-to-day supervision comes from a non-PLACE Team Owner
- Design and roll out people-management tools and processes — performance frameworks, compensation models, and similar resources — to help RE Team Owners and RE Operations leaders lead effectively
- Coach and advise RE Team Owners on people practices, PLACE policy, and applicable employment law, clearly distinguishing which decisions must be made or approved by PLACE as the legal employer
- Partner closely with Legal on employee relations matters touching the operator-partnership structure, co-employment risk, and escalations requiring legal review
- Establish and maintain clear escalation protocols so RE Team Owners and employees know when and how to bring HR issues forward
