Senior Manager, People & Organizational Effectiveness

Firestorm is hiring a Senior Manager, People & Organizational Effectiveness individual to serve as the operational backbone of our people function. You will be in a high-autonomy, high-impact role and will thrive on solving problems quickly, building durable solutions, and operating at the intersection of HR operations, legal coordination, and management partnership.

 

This is not a traditional HR chain-of-command role. You will report directly to Legal, ensuring tight coordination on compliance and employment matters, with an HR Coordinator reporting to you to support day-to-day execution. You will work in close partnership with the CEO, CFO, and business unit heads, serving as their primary people-operations point of contact across employee relations, workforce planning, and organizational issues within their divisions.

 

We are looking for someone who can move fast, navigate ambiguity, work directly with executives and legal counsel, and defuse complex employee situations—all while building the governance infrastructure that prevents recurring issues. You are a business partner first and an HR operator second.

 

If you want to help build an organization capable of scaling at a high level without losing speed or sense of mission, and you are energized by solving real problems rather than designing theoretical frameworks, this role is for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Firestorm, we are building the future of expeditionary defense manufacturing and autonomous systems. Modern conflict has exposed a fundamental problem: the systems needed most by operators are often too expensive, too slow to produce, and too difficult to sustain at scale. Firestorm exists to change that.

 

We develop mission-adaptable aerial systems and deployable manufacturing infrastructure designed to put capability directly into the hands of the warfighter. From modular unmanned aircraft to xCell—our deployable microfactory—our goal is to make defense systems rapidly deployable, adaptable, and producible at the point of need.

Backed by leading investors across defense, aerospace, and technology, Firestorm is redefining how defense capability is built, fielded, and sustained in contested environments. We are looking for builders, operators, and problem-solvers who want to work on meaningful technology with real-world impact.
