Head Of People

Paradromics is seeking an experienced and thoughtful Head of People to help us grow and evolve while preserving the values that define our team. You will report directly to the CEO and serve as the lead HR presence in the company, supported by an HR Generalist.

In this role, you'll be responsible for a wide range of people functions—from advising leadership and shaping culture to managing day-to-day employee needs. You'll help us scale thoughtfully, maintain high trust across teams, and navigate the complex realities of building a company that spans R&D, clinical operations, and advanced manufacturing.

This role is 100% on-site in Austin, and a visible, embedded presence is essential to its success.

Required Education

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or related field, or equivalent amount of experience and training.
• SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) or SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) credential or ability to obtain certification within one year of employment

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in human resources, including direct employee relations and management coaching
• Strong working knowledge of employment law, including immigration law, performance management, compensation strategy, and organizational development
• Demonstrated ability to manage sensitive conversations with professionalism and care
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent time management skills with a proven ability to meet deadlines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in fast-paced, high-accountability environments
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and help others do the same

Required Disposition

Open-minded

Paradromics draws from many industries, with diverse working styles, backgrounds, and worldviews. We have a very diverse team—and we genuinely like each other. If you prefer to work in a place where everyone thinks (or votes) the way you do, or if you struggle to connect with people who see the world differently, this may not be the right fit. But if you're energized by working with people who challenge your perspective and still have your back, you'll thrive here.

Service mentality

As administrators and executives, we don't directly build technology to help patients, we help the people who do. We aspire to be the NASCAR pit crew that rapidly problem solves, supports the drivers, and never gets in the way.

Looking for challenges

Whether it's personal growth or leveling-up the organization, we are looking for someone who is always up for a challenge and always looking for ways to contribute.

We take culture very seriously, and we want an HR leader that embodies and amplifies the culture of the organization:

We come from many backgrounds. We have one mission.

We do meaningful, intense work. We have an egalitarian, casual workplace.

"I don't know" is an acceptable answer. "That's not my job" will raise eyebrows.

All ideas can be challenged. All colleagues are heard.

We value the contributions of everyone. We expect full effort from every contributor.

We take our work seriously. Ourselves, not so much.
