Clean luxury. Better for you. At Everlane, we believe luxury should be as effortless as it is conscious. We partner with ethical factories, work with premium, sustainably sourced materials, and strive to leave the industry cleaner than we found it.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

5+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated HRBP role — ideally within a consumer, retail, or DTC brand environment.

Proven ability to operate as a standalone HR function - comfortable owning the full employee lifecycle without a team beneath you, and resourceful enough to build from the ground up.

Deep employee relations expertise, including conducting thorough, unbiased investigations and navigating complex, sensitive situations with discretion and sound judgment.

Experience partnering directly with senior and executive leadership as a strategic advisor - not just an executor - on org design, talent planning, and workforce decisions.

A track record of building and scaling people programs (performance management, manager development, engagement) in a lean, high-growth environment.

Strong command of California employment law and HR compliance requirements; experience in a CA-headquartered or CA-majority workforce is a strong plus.

Experience supporting both corporate and hourly/retail workforces — the ability to flex your partnership style across very different employee populations.

A builder's mentality - you're energized by ambiguity, don't need a playbook handed to you, and take pride in creating structure where little exists.

Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills; you earn trust quickly, handle conflict with maturity, and know when to push back on leadership.

Bachelor's degree preferred but not required; SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification is a plus.

Additional Requirements:

Ability to sit for prolonged periods at a desk and work on a computer.

Must be able to lift up to 40 pounds at times.

May need to travel 10-30% annually.
