  • Lead hiring, onboarding, performance, and development programs
  • Influence culture, refresh values, and lead communication efforts across functions

What We're Looking For

  • Comfortable in fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and evolving environments
  • Onsite 5 days/week in Shelton and open to light travel (approx. 25-30%)

Compensation & Perks

  • Full benefits package
  • High visibility, strong executive partnership, and a chance to grow
