About Layers

Layers is building the infrastructure layer for the global circular fashion supply chain connecting secondhand clothing graders and raghouses in Pakistan to buyers worldwide through standardized supply, QC, processing, and consolidated logistics. As we scale the team behind that platform, we need someone who can build the people foundation that keeps a founder-led, fast-moving company sharp. This is a chance to shape how Layers hires, pays, and grows its people from the ground up.

The Role

We're looking for an HR Generalist who can wear every hat in the people function, from finding and closing great talent to standing up the systems that make a growing team run smoothly. This role exists because Layers is scaling fast, and we need someone to turn scrappy, ad-hoc processes into real infrastructure without killing the energy that makes this place work. You'll own talent acquisition end to end while simultaneously building the backbone: compensation bands, payroll, and the policies that keep us fair and compliant. You'll also drive the culture initiatives that keep Layers feeling like Layers as we grow. This is a builder's role. If you want a seat where you define how things get done rather than inherit someone else's playbook, this is it.

What you'll do

Own Talent Acquisition

  • Run the full hiring cycle from sourcing and screening to offer and close
  • Build pipelines for roles across product, operations, and commercial teams
  • Create a candidate experience that reflects the Layers brand

Build People Systems

  • Design and roll out compensation bands and leveling frameworks
  • Own payroll and ensure accurate, on-time processing
  • Set up the tooling and workflows that scale with headcount

Shape Policy & Compliance

  • Write and maintain clear, practical HR policies
  • Ensure Layers stays compliant with local labour requirements
  • Handle employee relations and be the go-to for people questions

Drive Culture

  • Design and run initiatives that keep the team engaged and connected
  • Own onboarding so new hires feel the Layers energy from day one
  • Gather feedback and turn it into action that improves how we work

What we're looking for

  • 2-3 years of experience in an HR or people operations role
  • Hands-on experience across talent acquisition and full-cycle hiring or
  • Exposure to building people systems like compensation bands, payroll, or leveling
  • Strong grasp of HR policy and local labour compliance
  • A builder's mindset, comfortable creating process from scratch in a fast-moving startup
  • Sharp communication skills and the judgement to handle sensitive matters well

What you'll get

  • Competitive compensation and bonus
  • Health insurance
  • A fun startup culture
  • Sleek vintage stock to transform your wardrobe
  • Real ownership of the people function with room to build it your way
  • Direct access to the founding team and a front-row seat as Layers scales
