Who you are
- The Experience: 8+ years of HR experience, preferably in a high-growth environment or a healthcare focused organization. You have a proven track record of moving the needle on employee engagement and manager effectiveness
- The "Grey Area" Specialist: You possess the discernment to make sound decisions in complex, ambiguous situations. You know when to be a "hands-on" problem solver and when to escalate for broader impact
- Change Leadership Expertise: You build the project plans and communication loops that make change stick
- Compliance & Compassion: You have a deep understanding of Labor and Employment law; you apply it through a lens that balances a growth mindset and accountability
- Mission Alignment: A genuine passion for expanding global access to high-quality mental healthcare. A desire to contribute to building an innovative high impact people and culture function
What the job involves

- You will work directly with the teams responsible for our clinical excellence
- Your success directly correlates to the quality of care our members receive
- You will navigate the unique intersection of high-growth tech and high-quality evidence-based mental healthcare
- This role requires a hands-on knowledgeable HR practitioner who applies data-driven decision-making and knowledge of leadership effectiveness and talent management practices to build a healthy, high-performing clinical workforce
- Strategic Advisory Partner: Act as a trusted advisor to leaders ranging from ICs to Directors, helping them navigate the complexities of leading a clinical team and complex operations. You won't just solve problems; you'll coach leaders to address root issues and continually improve leadership and processes
- Organizational Architecture: Partner with Clinical Operations to design and implement team structures that scale. You’ll lead complex change initiatives, ensuring our team members and clinicians feel supported through every evolution of the business
- Cultural Stewardship: Drive the "rhythm of business" (performance cycles, talent planning) with a focus on equity, clinical integrity, and continual growth and development
- Functional Expertise: Serve as a subject matter expert for the broader People Team in key areas such as Manager Development, Performance Enablement or Talent Planning, influencing how Lyra develops talent globally through leadership on central initiatives
Our take
In the US, millions of people suffer from mental illness each year. This is not only a detriment to individuals, but to businesses as well - with research suggesting that depression and anxiety disorders lead to $1 trillion in lost productivity worldwide each year.
Lyra Health is out to tackle these issues head-on, by delivering mental health care for employees. The company offers video counselling sessions and one-to-one messaging to help users with a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression and substance use disorder.
The company is a key player in the sector alongside peers like Calm, Genoa and Talkspace. Impressively, it boasts a 90% satisfaction rate across its more than 2 million members, demonstrating the impact its products can have.
In 2025, Lyra Health launched a ‘clinical-grade’ chatbot to its offering. This has been met with mixed feelings due to evidence that AI can act unpredictably in response to mental health concerns. It will take time to see whether this feature will enhance or diminish the user experience.
