What we do:
Halcyon is the industry's first dedicated, adaptive security platform that combines multiple proprietary advanced prevention engines along with AI models focused specifically on stopping ransomware.

Who we are:
Halcyon was formed in 2021 by a team of cyber industry veterans after battling the scourge of ransomware (and advanced threats) for years at some of the largest global security vendors. Comprised of leaders from Cylance (now Blackberry), Accuvant (now Optiv), Fireye and ISS X-Force (now IBM), Halcyon is focused on building products and solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers.

As a remote-native, completely distributed global team, we recognize great talent can exist anywhere. We invite you to apply to a job you're interested in and we'll work a plan to meet your needs.

• Manage global employment through our international employer of record ("EOR") and ensure a seamless onboarding experience for global new hires.
• Provide administrative support for key HR operational activities such as offboarding, job and compensation changes, immigration, leaves of absence and other tasks and projects as needed.
• Utilize internal systems to keep files organized and readily assessable, as needed by COO and General Counsel. Generate reports based on specific contracts.
• Manage insurance applications, updates, and requests.
• Maintain corporate filings and annual reports (state registrations and SOS fillings).
• Assist legal with document preparation and follow up correspondence with vendors and potential customers.
• Support legal with foreign entity formation and related matters.
• Assist legal with equity management (Carta, 83bs, required IRS filings).
• Support culture-building and engagement activities such as regional team meetups.

Skills and Qualifications:

• 6+ years of HR, legal or operational experience, preferably several years at a fast-growing, early stage start up.
• Ability to multi-task in a fast-paced startup environment with precision.
• Ability to take direction with flexibility.
• Bias toward decisive action and end-to-end ownership of all assigned tasks.
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills, ability to take initiative and naturally curious.
• Analytical mindset with a bias toward continuous process improvement.

In accordance with applicable state and federal laws, the range provided is Halcyon's reasonable estimate of the base compensation for this role. The actual amount may differ based on non-discriminatory factors such as experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and location. Base pay is one part of the total package that is provided to compensate and recognize employees for their work, and this role may be eligible for additional discretionary bonuses/incentives, and equity in the Company.
