About Juvia's Place
Juvia's Place is a Black-owned beauty brand known for richly pigmented, culture-inspired makeup made for every skin tone. Founded by Chichi Eburu, the brand has grown from a single eyeshadow palette into a global name sold online, through major retailers, and across social commerce.
We celebrate heritage, artistry, and self-expression, and we build the same intention into how we treat our people.
About the role
We're hiring an HR Generalist / HR Manager to own the people function for a lean, fast-moving, fully remote team. You'll report directly to our Founder and CEO and serve as the go-to partner for every employee, contractor, and manager on the team.
This is a hands-on, build-and-run role. One day you're running payroll and onboarding a new hire; the next you're tightening a policy, coaching a manager through a hard conversation, or shaping how we hire as we grow. We'll calibrate the title (Generalist or Manager) to your experience and scope.
What you'll do
HR operations and compliance
Run the full employee lifecycle: offers, onboarding, changes, offboarding, and records
Partner on payroll, benefits enrollment, PTO, and leave administration with our PEO or payroll provider
Keep us compliant with federal and multi-state employment law for a remote workforce (I-9s, state registrations, required notices, pay transparency)
Own and maintain the HRIS, personnel files, and contractor documentation
Employee relations and culture
Be the trusted first point of contact for employee questions, concerns, and conflicts
Conduct fair, well-documented investigations and recommend resolutions
Coach managers on feedback, performance, and difficult conversations
Build rituals and programs that keep a remote team connected and engaged
Policies, performance, and growth
Create and update the employee handbook, core policies, and job descriptions
Design and run a simple, consistent performance review and goal-setting process
Support compensation benchmarking, leveling, and pay decisions
Talent acquisition support
Partner with hiring managers on job postings, interview processes, and offers
Manage the applicant tracking workflow and a strong candidate experience
Strategic partnership
Advise the CEO on org design, headcount planning, and people risks
Track and report HR metrics (headcount, turnover, time to hire) to inform decisions
What you bring
7+ years of HR experience for Generalist level, or 9+ years with 2+ in a lead or manager role for Manager level
Solid working knowledge of US employment law, ideally across multiple states for remote teams
Hands-on experience with payroll, benefits, and an HRIS or PEO (Gusto, Rippling, Justworks, ADP, or similar)
Proven skill handling employee relations matters with discretion, empathy, and sound judgment
Comfort working directly with a founder in a small company where priorities shift quickly
Strong writing and organization; you document clearly and follow through
A self-starter mindset: you build the process when there isn't one
