Recruiting & People Lead

About Duet : Duet is on a mission to transform primary care by empowering nurse practitioners (NPs) to own and operate their practices. By providing NPs with tailored products and services within a supportive setting, Duet is building the nation’s largest network of NP-owned practices, driving better outcomes for patients and communities.

About the Role

We're hiring a Recruiting & People Lead to own talent and people operations across all of Duet. This is a foundational role at a company growing fast - you'll build and run the systems that bring great people in, set them up to succeed, and make Duet a place where they want to stay.

You'll own end-to-end recruiting across every function, manage the day-to-day rhythm of our NYC office that’s in 3-4 days/week, and help shape the culture and programming that makes Duet feel like Duet. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to do real work, not manage a team that does it.

What You'll Do

Recruiting

Own full-cycle recruiting across all functions - clinical, operations, business development, technology, and everything in between
Partner with hiring managers to define roles, build pipelines, and close strong candidates quickly
Manage our ATS and keep hiring data clean, accurate, and useful
Coordinate external search partners for senior or specialized searches when needed
Represent Duet's brand and values at every touchpoint of the candidate experience

People Operations

Manage our PEO, including onboarding new hires, so everyone starts strong
Own day-to-day HR processes: PTO, leaves, employee relations, policy questions, and compliance
Support managers on performance conversations, documentation, and corrective action when needed
Maintain accurate records in our HRIS and ensure we're running clean processes as we scale

Office & Culture

Oversee the day-to-day operations of our NYC office - vendors, supplies, facilities, and the little things that make the space work
Own logistics for company offsites, team dinners, and internal events
Design and execute cultural programming that builds connection across a growing team
Be the person who notices what needs to happen and makes it happen

What We're Looking For

5+ years in recruiting, people operations, or a generalist HR role - ideally at a high-growth startup
You've done it all: sourced candidates, closed offers, run onboarding, handled a difficult conversation, planned a team event
Strong executor - you don't wait to be told what to do, and you follow through
Organized and detail-oriented without being slow; you can manage competing priorities without dropping things
Clear, direct communicator who earns trust with candidates, employees, and leaders alike
Someone who wants to grow - this role will expand as Duet does, and we want someone who's excited about that

The salary range for this role is $110,000 - $130,000 plus equity. This role is hybrid in NYC.
