Job Title: HR Generalist (Shared Services – Healthcare & Accounting Startups)

Location: Phoenix, AZ (In-Person now, hybrid later for strong candidates)

About Us

We operate two fast-growing, mission-driven businesses:

• Awaken Your Voice LLC – A speech therapy clinic focused on delivering high-quality care and expanding access through a strong network of SLPs and SLPAs.
• Better Ways Accounting & Tax – A modern accounting firm helping small business owners gain clarity and control over their finances.

Both companies are in the early growth stage (12–20 team members each), and we are now investing in building a strong people and HR infrastructure to scale sustainably while preserving our culture.

The Role

We are hiring an HR Generalist to serve as a shared resource across both organizations, with a primary focus on recruiting and building scalable HR systems.

This is not a maintenance-only HR role — this is a build-and-own role. You will design, implement, and manage the systems that support hiring, onboarding, compliance, and team operations as we scale.
