Lead the People Operations function, including employee onboarding, HR systems and compliance, benefits administration, and organizational development.
Partner closely with company leadership and hiring managers to identify talent needs, define roles, and execute recruitment strategies that build high-impact teams.

Act as a strategic advisor and trusted resource to managers and staff on all things people-related, including performance, development, policy interpretation, and conflict resolution.
Manage HR tools, systems, and documentation to ensure accuracy, compliance, and continuous improvement.
Analyze data and trends to inform people strategies and identify areas for improvement.
Champion a connected culture across a hybrid and geographically dispersed workforce, ensuring strong communication, cohesion, and alignment across teams.
Lead meaningful engagement efforts that build trust, strengthen team identity, and reinforce the values that make BridgePhase a great place to work.

As with any growing organization, exact role responsibilities will evolve with changing needs. We are looking for a versatile candidate who thrives on new challenges and can readily adapt to additional responsibilities beyond those listed above.

Required Experience and Qualifications:

6+ years of progressive HR/People Operations experience, including leadership roles.
Demonstrated success in building, leading, and mentoring people teams in fast-paced, growing organizations.
Proven experience managing people-focused initiatives at both strategic and tactical levels.
Strong working knowledge of employee benefits administration, including open enrollment, 401(k), FSA/HSA, and wellness programs.
Familiarity with Paid Family Leave (PFL) laws and compliance requirements across multiple states (e.g., CA, NY, MA)
Experience overseeing workplace policies related to PTO, sick leave, FMLA, and accommodations.
Strong understanding of OFCCP, AAP, and EEO compliance, including experience with annual reporting and audit preparedness
Proven ability to oversee and manage I-9 form completion and other employment eligibility documentation in compliance with federal regulations
Experience maintaining comprehensive employee records and ensuring timely, accurate completion of all required HR documentation
Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and partner with stakeholders at all levels

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
