Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in an HR Generalist or HRBP role — no recruiting scope required or expected
- Experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS or tech startup; early or solo HR hire experience strongly preferred
- Deep knowledge of employment law and HR compliance across multiple states (NY required)
- Proven ability to build HR programs and policies from scratch — not just inherit and maintain them
- Excellent judgment in sensitive employee relations situations — trusted, discreet, and consistent
- Data-fluent: comfortable tracking people metrics and presenting insights clearly to leadership
- Exceptional communicator — able to write clear policy, facilitate hard conversations, and influence at the C-suite level
- High-ownership mindset: you do what needs doing, whether it’s strategic or administrative
- Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Psychology, or related field; SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, or PHR a plus
- Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds
What the job involves
- As our HR Lead, you’ll own the full people operations function — from onboarding through career development, performance, compliance, and culture. Recruiting lives separately; your mandate is everything that happens after someone joins, and everything that makes Vendelux the kind of company people want to stay at
- You’ll work directly with leadership on org design, compensation strategy, and workforce planning, while also being the day-to-day resource employees trust for guidance, support, and clarity. You need to be equally comfortable in both rooms
- Design and run programs across onboarding, engagement, performance, and development that keep people growing and connected to the mission
- Maintain legally compliant, fair, and clearly communicated policies across employment law, benefits, leave, and workplace standards
- Be the trusted resource for managers and employees navigating performance issues, conflict, and sensitive workplace situations
- Partner with leadership on org structure, headcount planning, compensation benchmarking, and the cultural foundations that scale with the business
- Design and deliver a best-in-class onboarding experience that gets new hires productive, connected, and engaged from day one
- Build and manage performance review cycles, feedback frameworks, and career development programs
- Serve as the primary resource for employee relations — coaching managers, mediating conflict, and handling sensitive matters with discretion and fairness
- Administer and continuously improve compensation, benefits, and equity programs; lead benchmarking as the company scales
- Develop and maintain HR policies, the employee handbook, and compliance documentation across all jurisdictions we operate in
- Partner with leadership on workforce planning, org design, and headcount decisions tied to business goals
- Track and report on people metrics — attrition, engagement, eNPS, and time-in-role — and surface actionable insights to leadership
- Own the HRIS and people tech stack; evaluate and implement new tooling as we grow
- Manage offboarding processes, conduct exit interviews, and translate findings into retention improvements
Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings up close - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.
The company leverages AI to deliver insights on attendees and sponsors of over 160,000 global conferences, helping customers decide which events they should attend and sponsor for the largest return. It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base that includes the likes of GitLab, DocuSign and Intel, and has also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent investment supports increased marketing efforts and the enhancement of its ROI-evaluation tools, as well as hiring to build out its team.
