Job Description

Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.

As an HR Business Partner at Hermeus you will work closely with leaders to align people strategy with business goals. You will support team structure, performance management, and organizational planning while ensuring smooth HR operations and compliance at the Atlanta site. This role balances strategic partnership with hands-on execution, driving efficiency, supporting growth, and creating an exceptional employee experience in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

The Right Person for This Role

You are a builder, someone who understands the mechanics of people systems and how they connect to performance. You are equally comfortable in the weeds fixing a workflow or at the table helping a leader design the right team structure. You bring speed, clarity, and practicality to every conversation.

Responsibilities :

• HR Business Partnership & Organizational Design
• Partner with leadership to align team structures, leveling, and headcount planning with program priorities.
• Drive consistency in hiring practices by ensuring roles, levels, and compensation align with our internal frameworks.
• Lead local performance management efforts, including calibration, promotion readiness, and development planning.
• Use people data to provide insights and recommendations that improve team efficiency, structure, and performance.
• Identify and resolve organizational friction points - ensuring processes, decisions, and approvals move quickly and cleanly.
• Act as advisor to leaders and managers on team structure, talent movement, and organizational planning.
• HR Operations & Execution
• Serve as the local People Ops point of contact for the Atlanta office, ensuring employees and managers are supported in day-to-day needs.
• Partner with the HR Operations Manager to ensure smooth execution of onboarding / offboarding, compliance, payroll coordination, and HRIS workflows.
• Support People Ops programs (e.g., performance reviews, compensation planning, engagement surveys) by localizing communication and implementation for Atlanta.
• Maintain compliance with labor laws and ensure site-level alignment on policy execution.
• Collaborate with Facilities, IT, and Security to provide a safe, compliant, and high-quality employee experience.
