Senior HR Manager

StartupSphere offers a contract Senior HR Manager role with a competitive $76,000 - $122,000 package and real ownership over business outcomes. The business charter, the $76,000 - $122,000, the 8-year ask — all of it points to a StartupSphere role built for owners, not order-takers.

Key Responsibilities

• Field the awkward question in the QBR and have the data ready
• Surface the two or three metrics that decide whether a Senior HR Manager bet paid off
• Manage vendor relationships and negotiate contracts on behalf of StartupSphere
• Pull apart a stalled deal and rebuild the path to yes
• Make the renewal case before the contract client starts shopping around
• Decide what a manager role should own and where the seams go
• Find the $76,000 - $122,000 of value hiding in a process everyone tolerates
• Manage end-to-end operations for the Syracuse, NY region

What You'll Bring

• Resilience measured across 8 years of business cycles
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Judgment seasoned by at least 6 years of real consequences
• Working knowledge of Leadership alongside transferable Attention to Detail chops
• Around 8+ years of hands-on experience in a business role
• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

StartupSphere grew out of a Syracuse, NY research lab and never lost its goal-oriented, question-everything approach to Applicant Tracking Systems. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.

With $76,000 - $122,000 as the anchor, expect mentorship, a benefits package worth bragging about, and the latitude to work remote-first.

The freshness clock just ticked over, and this Senior HR Manager slot stays open.
