We think good ideas can come from anyone, and we've designed our processes to encourage participation from all. While we take our mission seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously.

While we are an in office culture, we allow up to 2 remote days per week.

As Sage's first dedicated HR Generalist, you'll own the day-to-day people operations that keep our team running smoothly and feeling supported. You'll be a key member of the People team, working closely with the Head of People and partnering across the business on everything from HR operations, systems, and compliance to onboarding, performance management, and training.

This role is for someone who thrives on ownership, is energized by variety, and genuinely cares about doing right by people. You'll join a team that has already built a strong HR foundation—and you'll have the opportunity to deepen it, improve it, and put your mark on it. An important part of this role will also be stepping up to lead day-to-day People operations while the Head of People is on parental leave, making this a uniquely high-impact opportunity for the right person.

Serve as the primary HR point of contact

for employees and managers across the organization—responding to questions, navigating employee issues, and providing thoughtful, practical guidance on a wide range of people matters.

Own the employee lifecycle

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.

Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.
