Head of People and Recruiting

LumiMeds is a fast-growing telehealth startup focused on weight management and metabolic health. We're building our people function from the ground up — and we need someone who can own it end to end.

This is primarily a lifecycle HR role. You'll build and run the infrastructure that keeps our team running: onboarding, performance, compliance, employee relations, compensation, and everything in between. We don't have a handbook yet. You'll write it.

On top of that, you'll own recruiting across all of our open roles. Most hiring is straightforward — but we also recruit for technical roles (engineering, AI/ML), and that's where the bar gets higher. You don't need to be a deeply technical person, but you need to be able to source, screen, and close engineers credibly without leaning on a third party to do it for you.

If you've spent your career as a pure recruiter or a pure HR admin, this probably isn't the right fit. We need someone who's done both — and built both from scratch.

This is a fully remote contract role, open to candidates from LATAM, South America, and Europe.

What You'll Own

Lifecycle HR (Primary)

• Design and run onboarding, offboarding, and the full employee lifecycle
• Build and maintain HR documentation, policies, and compliance frameworks
• Coordinate global payroll and contractor agreements across multiple countries

• Serve as the internal point of contact for employee relations and people questions
• Partner with founders on org design, compensation strategy, and workforce planning

Recruiting (All Roles, Including Technical)

Browse our curated collection of remote jobs across all categories and industries, featuring positions from top companies worldwide.

• Source and screen technical candidates (Full-Stack, AI/ML, DevOps) without outsourcing to agencies
• Manage and optimize our hiring pipeline in Greenhouse
• Design interview processes and scorecards that create signal, not noise

Who You Are

You've built people infrastructure at a startup before — not inherited it. You're comfortable in ambiguity, move fast, and don't need a lot of hand-holding. You can hold your own in a conversation with an engineer. You know Greenhouse well enough to configure it, not just navigate it. You've hired across time zones and understand what global remote compliance actually involves.

You use AI tools in your day-to-day work and have genuinely changed how you operate because of them.

Why LumiMeds

Founding-level ownership. Direct access to leadership. Real impact on how we hire and how we scale. Not for everyone — but if you want to build something that matters, let's talk.
