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
