Remote Human Resources Jobs in Rutherford, NJ (NOW HIRING)

We believe public education creates freedom, and that access to that education starts with a safe and reliable ride to school. That’s why we built BusRight, a modern transportation platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of Transportation Directors, Drivers, and Parents across 36+ states to make school transportation safer, smarter, and more equitable.

Role Overview

Requirements

About You

• You’ve spent 4-7 years helping venture-backed, high-growth technology companies attract and retain great people.
• You’ve partnered across every corner of the org (e.g., GTM, Product, Engineering) and you love figuring out what makes people value-additive to the organization.
• You thrive in ambiguous situations and know how to operate in the “grey area” between problems and processes. You don’t require prescriptive direction and are motivated by the opportunity to propose novel solutions to challenges others haven’t yet addressed.
• You’ve built (or rebuilt) playbooks, scorecards, and employee experiences that feel thoughtful and human. You’re just as comfortable mapping a performance management strategy as you are jumping into a sourcing sprint.
• You communicate clearly, think systematically, and use strong judgment to make critical decisions.
• You’re creative and entrepreneurial. You’d rather develop bespoke solutions than run the same play as the other team.
• You’re tech-savvy and focused on relentless personal development, recognizing that technology only amplifies the importance of human capability.
• Most of all, you’re humble, curious, and down to earth. You care about people, education, and building something that matters - and you want to help BusRight grow by finding the kind of teammates who care just as much.
  

This is a chance to join a fast growing technology company early and make your mark on a territory and a team that’s transitioning how millions of students access their education every day. If you're energized by growth and driven by relationships we’d love to hear from you.
