In 2011, Marc Andreessen famously said, “Software is eating the world.” 10+ years later, software hasn’t just nibbled, it has indulged in a lavish ten-course feast at a Michelin star restaurant. From Slack to Zoom to Figma, software is embedded in every company’s DNA. And while most just get to enjoy the benefits, there is one unsung hero behind it all: 🦸♀️ IT 🦸♀️
While being flooded with never ending IT tickets, they are also making sure Guy Fieri in Sales doesn’t buy yet another tool “promising” a 103% lead conversion rate. And burying themselves in spreadsheets to prepare the SOC2 report for when Gordon Ramsey from the Big 4 comes knocking. And can’t forget about Julia Child, the newest on-call engineer, who needs access to prod DB to investigate an incident. All of these workstreams are among spreadsheets, emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls. But those days are numbered.
✨ Let there be Lumos ✨
Lumos is building the first AppHQ for companies. In essence, we are creating the meta app, the source-of-truth for companies to manage all their apps.
Why Lumos?
- 🚀 Rocketship Growth: In less than two years, our team has grown from 20 to ~80 brilliant minds across Canada, the United States and South America. Our customer base has more than 10x’d with some pretty incredible names like SiriusXM, GitHub, and Intercom.
- 📈 Backed by Industry Leaders: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has backed us since the beginning. We have a team of trusted advisors including Joel De La Garza (partner at a16z and previous Chief Security Officer at Box) and Leland Maschmeyer (the design thinker behind Spotify and Microsoft)
- ⭐ Grow with us: You have the chance to be one of the first 100 people at Lumos. At Lumos, you will build your function from the ground up, get exposure to different aspects of the business developing a diverse skill set, and most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to pave your own path.
We are rewriting the IT playbook, one that better reflects our software eaten world.
As our first dedicated HR Business Partner, you will have the unique opportunity to take on both a strategic and hands-on role providing full lifecycle support
from an employee’s first day at Lumos to their last. You will partner directly with managers and individual contributors in all strategic areas of Human Resources. Your primary role will be to align our People priorities with our business objectives and provide on-the-ground support through developing and maintaining company policies and driving all HR functional excellence and process improvement. ✨ Your Role- Trusted Advocate: Serve as a trusted advocate to employees, managers, and leaders, ensuring a positive, inclusive, and equitable employee experience
- Strategic Voice (and Ear) of the Business: Observe and identify patterns across the organization, using data-driven insights from Pulse surveys, performance reviews, and business reviews to develop targeted solutions for specific teams and individuals. Proactively flag and make recommendations on areas to prioritize to leadership, such as team resourcing or manager development.
- Culture Carrier: Ensure our company values are instilled in everything we do, whether it’s defining hybrid work policies and building a remote-first culture or developing new people initiatives that scale
- Compliance Expert: Provide policy guidance, ensuring compliance with federal, state, local employment and visa laws and regulations
- Systems Guru: Manage benefits and all employee-related systems such as SequoiaOne, Deel and others
$120,000 - $190,000. Note that this range is a good faith estimate of likely pay for this role; upon hire, the pay may differ due to skill and/or level of experience.
🙌 What We ValueWe are looking for an HR Business Partner with experience in the startup space. Having said this, we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications because we care much more about your motivation, excitement, and potential to grow into the role than about your CV.
Instead of focusing on what people need to have, we focus on what people need to do. Additionally, we try to find out whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on our values that define how we achieve outcomes and what characteristics we value.
*We encourage you to apply even if you think you might not be perfect fit! 🤝
