This is not your typical corporate HR role. You’ll be hands-on in everything from employee relations to onboarding, data integrity, and compliance. You’ll help build and streamline our people operations so that Petfolk can keep growing—without ever losing our human (and pet-friendly) touch.

• Listen and act: Launch and analyze engagement and pulse surveys, spot trends, and help managers create action plans that stick.
