WebPT is the market-leading software for physical, occupational, and speech therapists—and that industry domination didn’t just happen. No, the most important ingredient in our recipe for growth and success—our “secret sauce,” if you will—is, without a doubt, our people. They are the heart and soul of our company—the reason our customers choose us over every other software provider. Thus, we work hard to make sure our people have everything they need to be successful in their roles. That’s where you come in. As WebPT’s Head of Human Resources, you’ll partner with the executive team to manage all things Employee Success (which is the name we’ve given our HR department). That includes everything from investigating and communicating employee feedback to conducting specialized leadership and management training—all while working toward overall company goals and maintaining and enhancing our company culture.

At WebPT, we hire the most talented people for our teams, and then give them the freedom to do their jobs. Here, we work hard—but we have lots of fun doing it. So, if you like a cool, collaborative, and challenging work environment, you’ll fit right in. Throw business casual to the wind. We want casual-casual. Rock flip-flops and jeans. We don’t care as long as you do good work and have a great time.

Abilities and Knowledge

• Have a mind for efficiency. We like doing más with menos around here, so while you don’t have to be the next MacGyver, you’ve got to have a knack for using resources creatively.
• Love logistics more than UPS. We’re kidding—kind of. Just be comfortable managing vendors and budgets.
• Remain cool under pressure. Things can get pretty hectic at times, so we want to make sure you keep calm and carry on through even the most stressful—and ambiguous—of circumstances.
• Play nice with others. We’re a tight-knit, highly collaborative team, and we’d like to keep it that way.
• Be a natural-born leader—one who inspires his or her team, embraces every moment as a teaching (or learning) opportunity, and provides constructive coaching and meaningful challenges.
• Store knowledge like a vault—and keep it air-tight like a vault, too. This role requires top-notch memory, confidentiality, and maturity in all situations, including sensitive HR situations.
• Wear a whistle—not literally, but figuratively (unless you really like whistles; that’s cool). We’re looking for a natural coach—someone who can effectively, positively, and confidently make our team the very best.
• Rock the mic like a vandal—not just in karaoke, but in all forms of communication (i.e., communicate effectively over the phone and via email).
• Juggle many complex projects, all with a sense of urgency, simultaneously. Major props if you can actually juggle like a real circus performer.
• Strategize about human resources management like a world dominator in the game of Risk, while intelligently making data-driven decisions. That being said, you also know when to trust your gut and make tough calls when the data isn’t clear.
• Be passionate about quality customer service. You love helping people, and you constantly strive to create raving fans by delivering excellent internal and external service.
• Talk nerdy to me—er, all of us. Know your stuff and talk about it skillfully, confidently, accurately, and honestly.

• Overachieve like it’s your job—because it is. Commit to excellence in everything you do.
• Jibe with our culture. We’re talkin’ energy, integrity, positivity, a hunger for knowledge, and a passion for sharing it. Bring all that and a bag of chips. Seriously, we love chips.
