At Boom, we're building the world's fastest airliner and rewriting what's possible... That kind of ambition demands a People Team that moves with the same precision, speed, and care as our engineers. We're not just scaling a company—we're scaling a culture that inspires the most talented people on the planet to do their life's best work.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for a high-impact People Generalist to power the experience of the extraordinary individuals behind this mission. You won't just support the employee lifecycle—you'll help build the People systems and culture that keep our teams moving fast and flying high.

• Partner with People team leads on org design, compensation reviews, and talent planning—adapting programs to meet the needs of a growing, evolving organization.
• Operationalize strategic HR goals by breaking them into processes that effectively work—balancing speed, accuracy, and employee experience.
• Use data and insights to spot trends in engagement, retention, and performance—and help shape proactive, high-impact solutions.
• Act as an HR trusted guide—ensuring best practices are followed, managers are supported, and Boom remains in lockstep with employment laws and internal standards.
• Roll up your sleeves during change—supporting communication, adoption, and alignment as we roll out new initiatives, structures, and processes.
