Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that unlocks the ability to live a travel-rich lifestyle through the power of community. By exchanging primary residences with trusted peers, renters and owners alike can match with Kindred spirits and explore new destinations without breaking the bank.

We are on a mission to build a sharing economy that lives up to the name, and we’ve raised significant capital from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley to do so, including Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, Bessemer Venture Partners, Caffeinated Capital, Elad Gil, and the founders of Opendoor, Figma, ClassPass, Clubhouse, Divvy, Gem, and Homebound.

The co-founders are proven leaders from the early team at proptech company Opendoor ($15B+ exit), and have each separately built and scaled products that today do $1B+ annual revenue combined.

We’re looking for the world’s top builders, executors, and believers to join us on this ride.

The Role:

Bay Area Hybrid Role

At Kindred, we are not out to build an ordinary company. We show up every day to build something extraordinary, and that starts with an extraordinary team.

In any organization, People Operations is important. But for Kindred, because of the nature of our high-trust, deeply human product, it is existential. Our ability to hire the right talent, execute with precision, and operate in alignment with our values is of unique strategic significance at Kindred, and we’re looking for a phenomenal leader who can join the early team to champion our people operations and shape the future of the team.

This hire will report directly to the CEO, and will be responsible for establishing our People Team functions. Like the rest of our early team, this role will need to straddle operating with team building, and tactics with strategy.

We expect this role to initially span HR, People Operations, People Programs, Employee Relations, Learning & Development, and People Relations, but we are specifically looking for someone who “spikes” in People Operations.

You Will:

• Define the approach and execute on human resources efforts, including compensation philosophy and calibration, payroll and benefits, decisions around HR and recruiting software, onboarding and offboarding playbooks, company handbook, expense policies, and more.
• Support employees across the organization as an HR business partner, keeping a pulse on employee morale, supporting organizational change management, and partnering with managers through tough people related issues and decisions.
• Serve as an embedded champion of Kindred’s culture in close conjunction with the founding team. This includes implementing traditions, processes, offsites, and more to help Kindred operationalize its values.
• Develop and roll out Kindred’s hybrid workplace policies to bridge remote flexibility with in-person trust building, and partner with the CEO and Chief of Staff on efforts to build out Kindred’s new headquarters “clubhouse” in San Francisco.
• Support tactical recruiting efforts before Kindred builds out a recruiting function in house, liaising with contract resources and agencies. Depending on performance & aptitude, this role may grow into building out Kindred’s recruiting function over time as well.
