THE OPPORTUNITY

Allara is excited to be hiring our first People Partner! In this role, you’ll build and lead the next chapter of our people function. This is a high-impact, foundational role where you’ll shape how HR operates at Allara. You’ll report to and work closely with the COO and broader leadership team to establish scalable, thoughtful, and compliant people practices.

You’ll own the full employee lifecycle outside of Talent Acquisition (which sits separately), serving as the go-to partner across employee relations, compliance, benefits, performance management, and all other core people programs. This role is both strategic and highly hands-on – you can expect to design and implement programs while also executing day-to-day operations.

We have several foundational pieces in place and are now seeking someone who can bring structure and execution where needed, as well as thoughtfully evolve our HR practices as we grow. This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in a “builder” role – you’ll play a key role in shaping the employee experience & company culture. If this sounds like a role you’d thrive in, we’d love to meet you!

Location: Hybrid (NYC). We value in-person collaboration and aim for at least three days per week in our NYC office, with flexibility as needed.

• Experience building and improving people programs and policies in a thoughtful, practical way
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. employment laws and HR compliance, with the ability to apply sound judgment in real-time situations
