Hummingbird is a remote-first, fully distributed team united by the shared mission of helping fight financial crime. Since our launch in 2017, we’ve helped major financial institutions and tech-savvy trailblazers alike (e.g. Stripe, Affirm, Evolve Bank etc.) orchestrate their compliance programs through our thoughtfully designed, intuitive SaaS product. We believe finding and stopping financial crime is a problem rooted in code, language and design, so we built the product that the heroes doing this work deserve.
We are customer-obsessed, and we love building and shipping great products. We set a high bar, challenge our assumptions, seek diverse opinions, and support each other to do our best work.
We do our best to write inclusive, descriptive and accurate job descriptions, but we’re not always perfect. If you’re interested in the role, we’d love to hear from you even if you don’t feel like you meet everything we’re looking for. We’re always iterating and improving, and it’s possible that your experience is even more impactful than we could have imagined.
About the Role
The People Team’s mission is to empower and enable Hummingbird’s workforce to reach their full potential by cultivating a supportive, inclusive and high-performance culture. We help drive growth at the individual and further Hummingbird’s success as a company by attracting, retaining and developing top talent, and implementing the policies and practices needed to succeed. This People Ops hire will be a key member of our small and mighty People team, and will be comfortable shape-shifting between various people ops projects in service of this mission.
What you’re looking to do:
- CEO support. A unique aspect of this role is directly supporting our CEO. You'll own inbox, calendar and travel management for the CEO of Hummingbird. With this visibility and ownership, you'll be well-positioned to proactively identify inefficiencies and drive solutions to improve company operations.
- Own and optimize People-related processes across the employee lifecycle. You lead with employee empathy, and you’re interested in augmenting processes from onboarding and offboarding to open enrollment and DEIB initiatives.
- Create incredible in-person experiences for our fully distributed company. Hummingbird’s fully remote workforce loves having opportunities to meet in person. You’re interested in what it means to gather effectively and how to make the most of time in person.
- Build programs that focus on meaningful employee engagement and retention. You know how important it is to have a truly engaged employee base in order for a company to be successful. You’re motivated by the opportunity to think creatively and implement programs that drive inclusivity and belonging.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with all types of roles. You'll interact with each and every team at Hummingbird, and you relish the opportunity to get to know all types of individuals.
- Balance the strategic big picture with the hands-on day to day. You know what it’s like to work in a team where no one person is “above” or “below” a certain project or task. You’re good at viewing things from the 500 foot lens, and then following through to operationalize this view into tactical outputs for both you and the team to execute on.
You are:
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive.
- Curious about all areas of the People function. You like the idea of getting exposure across the many hats that folks on People teams can wear.
- Excited about creating superb employee experiences through operational excellence.
- A natural problem solver who thrives on identifying and implementing solutions
- Excellent at building relationships across diverse teams.
