  • Own and evolve hiring frameworks, onboarding, performance management, and leadership development for a distributed, multicultural workforce
  • Shape and steward RemotePass's employer brand, ensuring we attract, hire, and retain top talent aligned with our values and performance standards globally
  • Coach and challenge managers to make strong people decisions; intervene decisively when standards slip
