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 - $140,000 plus equity. This role is hybrid in NYC.
