Company Overview

Statusphere is a fast-growing SaaS influencer marketing platform that connects consumer brands with vetted content creators at scale. We're transforming how brands drive awareness and trust through authentic product placements. Backed by venture capital and led by a passionate team of marketers and technologists, Statusphere is scaling rapidly and building a world-class organization.

As we grow, we are looking for a people-first HR professional who thrives in dynamic startup environments and can bring structure, compliance, and a strong employee experience to our team.

We recently closed our seed round and are on track to raise Series A in late 2025. With ~30 employees and ambitious growth plans, we’re building a lean, high-performing team and a category-defining product in the influencer marketing space.

Why This Role Matters

We’re looking for a hands-on HR generalist who can build structure from scratch. Right now, our interim COO is juggling HR alongside other responsibilities — and it’s time to bring in a dedicated professional to own and elevate the function.

This is a foundational role where you’ll establish critical HR infrastructure across onboarding/offboarding, compliance, policies, documentation, and performance systems. You’ll also partner with our PEO (Justworks) to ensure smooth execution across the full employee lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

🔹 HR Operations & Compliance

• Own day-to-day HR tasks: onboarding, offboarding, documentation, file organization, and SOPs.

• Partner with our PEO on employee lifecycle, benefits, leave, and compliance.

• Manage policies around termination, pay practices, and risk mitigation across multiple US states.

🔹 Infrastructure Building

• Set up and maintain internal HR documentation, templates, handbooks, and compliance files.

• Establish systems for policy acknowledgements, performance reviews, and training tracking.

• Bring clarity and order to a currently scattered HR landscape.

🔹 Strategic People Support

• Advise leadership on light compensation benchmarking, legal compliance, and benefits strategy.

• Design and implement a performance management framework that can scale with the business.

• Proactively flag gaps, reduce legal risk, and help shape a healthy culture through structured processes.

What We’re Looking For

✅ 5–7 years of HR experience in startups or high-growth environments
✅ Proven ability to build HR systems from scratch — this is a solo role, not a team lead role (yet)
✅ Strong execution skills: self-directed, hands-on, emotionally intelligent
✅ Familiarity with US labor law, multi-state compliance, and PEO platforms (Justworks preferred)
✅ Comfortable working in a lean, fast-moving environment where documentation and clarity matter
✅ SHRM-CP or PHR certification preferred
✅ Available to work overlapping with East Coast (ET) hours

What You’ll Get

✨ Full ownership of HR in a high-growth startup
✨ A chance to build systems and leave a legacy
✨ Strong leadership support from a COO and founder who understand HR's strategic value
✨ Flexibility to start part-time and grow into full-time as the company scales
✨ Equity in a venture-backed company poised for growth
✨ Remote-first culture with a tight-knit, mission-driven team
