Curae is a rapidly growing healthcare revenue cycle management and technology company. We’ve scaled from ~25 to 70 team members in a short period of time and are preparing for another 20+ hires in 2026. Several current team members are contractors who will convert to full-time employees.

We are hiring a hands-on Head of People & Culture to own hiring, HR operations, and culture as we scale. This is a build-and-run role—not a passive or purely strategic HR position. This position reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer.

What You’ll Do

Hiring & Onboarding

• Own the full hiring lifecycle: postings, screening, interviews, offers, onboarding
• Partner with executives to forecast and prioritize hiring needs
• Lead contractor-to-FTE conversions (offers, comp, benefits, compliance)
• Standardize onboarding so new hires ramp quickly and consistently

HR Operations

• Serve as Curae’s primary HR leader
• Manage employee relations, policies, performance processes, and compliance
• Oversee payroll, benefits, and external HR vendors
• Handle sensitive issues with professionalism and sound judgment

Culture & Engagement

• Actively shape Curae’s culture during rapid growth
• Design meaningful team-building and engagement initiatives
• Support leaders with coaching, feedback, and accountability
• Be a trusted, visible partner to employees and leadership

Scale & Leadership Support

• Build lightweight people systems that scale from 70 to 100+ employees
• Bring structure without slowing the business
• Identify people risks early and address them proactively

What Success Looks Like

• Contractor conversions completed cleanly and efficiently
• Hiring runs smoothly with minimal executive intervention
• Faster ramp time for new hires
• Strong retention and engagement as the company grows
• A clear, healthy culture that supports performance

What We’re Looking For

• 8–12 years of HR / People Operations experience in a scaling company
• Experience managing rapid hiring and contractor-to-FTE transitions
• Comfortable being the sole HR leader (for now)
• Practical, direct, and trusted—no bureaucracy for its own sake
• Healthcare call center, SaaS, or financial services background is a plus
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) skills preferred

This Role Is Not

• A junior HR coordinator role
• A policy-only or hands-off HR job
• A “culture cheerleader” without execution responsibility
