  • Experience coaching and developing new managers
  • Built or significantly evolved an HR function at a high-growth startup, including systems, comp structures, and onboarding. This isn't your first rodeo

Role: Head of Human Resources

Seasats designs and deploys unmanned surface vessels that operate at sea for months at a time. We're growing quickly, with more than 100 employees across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. As we scale, we're looking for a Head of Human Resources to make sure our organization is as exceptional as our technology.

We're looking for someone who's built and led an HR function before and knows what it takes to help a growing company scale successfully. You'll design and implement the systems, policies, and practices that let us continue growing without losing the culture, camaraderie, and high standards that have made Seasats who we are today. Our CEO will provide context and partnership on the biggest decisions, but you'll own the function and the roadmap from there.

  • Build and continuously improve the HR function: policies, programs, and practices suited to a fast-moving company (probably not a Fortune 500 playbook)
  • Evaluate our existing HR systems (we currently use Gusto) and recommend and implement changes as we scale
  • Evaluate and refine our compensation philosophy, salary structure, benefits program, and related vendor relationships
