The Role
We're looking for a People Partner to be the go-to person for all things people at Pedestal Health. This is a true generalist role. One day you're troubleshooting a benefits question, the next you're running an interview loop or making sure payroll goes out without a hitch. You'll own the full employee experience, from the systems that keep us running to the culture that makes people want to stick around. If you like variety, don't need a playbook for everything, and enjoy building things from scratch, this is your role.
What You’ll Do
People Support
Be the person people come to with questions, concerns, or just need to talk something through
Help managers navigate tough conversations, coaching, and performance issues
Look into workplace concerns when they come up and help figure out a fair resolution
Keep the vibe positive and catch issues early, before they turn into bigger problems
Recruiting
Run hiring from start to finish - sourcing, screening, interviews, offers, the whole thing
Work with hiring managers to figure out who we actually need and what a great candidate looks like
Keep Greenhouse tidy and make sure every candidate has a good experience, whether they get the job or not
Help us tell our story to attract great people
Benefits & Compensation
Run our benefits programs day-to-day; enrollment, questions, compliance all of it
Be the friendly face for benefits questions and chase down issues
Pull benchmarking for positions, run merit cycles, and ensure consistent pay across the team
Run open enrollment each year, from planning to explaining it to the team
HRIS
Keep our HR system accurate - new hires, changes, exits, org updates, all clean and up to date
Pull reports and dashboards that help leadership make good calls on headcount and planning
Spot ways to automate or simplify our HR processes - we'd rather build a workflow than repeat a task
Make sure the system setup matches our policies and keeps us compliant
Culture
Champion the company's values and help translate them into everyday behaviors, recognition, and team rituals
Help plan the stuff that makes work fun — all-hands, recognition shoutouts, team events, milestones
Make sure new hires feel the culture from their very first day, not buried in a slide deck
Keep a pulse on how people are feeling (surveys, exit chats, check-ins) and act on what you hear
Serve as a culture champion and role model for the organization's values in daily interactions
What You Bring
3+ years’ experience in a generalist HR role, bonus points if you've touched benefits, comp, ER, recruiting, and HRIS
Have a good handle on multi-state employment law
Strong judgment, discretion, and interpersonal skills; comfortable handling sensitive information
You can juggle a lot without dropping the ball
Experience working with ADP strongly preferred
PHR/SHRM-CP is nice to have, not required
Healthcare, life sciences, or startup experience is a plus
What We Offer You
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
401(k) with company match
Generous PTO and paid parental leave
If you are ready to be part of a team where your work truly matters—where your expertise is valued, your growth is supported, and your contributions help shape the future of healthcare—Pedestal Health is the place for you. We're building something meaningful together, and we'd love for you to be a part of it.
