Hey, we’re Lemonpie. We’re growing faster than Ron Burgundy can play the jazz flute and we have no plans of slowing down.
We also know our best asset is, and always will be, our people.
That’s where you come in. We need someone who is dedicated to our ultimate goal of hiring for culture first, without compromising on top talent.
If you’re a good fit for this role you know exactly who we’re talking about.
Those incredible humans who not only have expertise in spades but also leave every space a little better than they found it. They’re passionate about what they do, innovative, over-communicative, empathetic, kind, funny, never skimp on quality, and are probably just a little weird.
Those are our people and we want you to be their champion.
What Does That Mean?
That you’ll not only recruit with our unique culture and top talent acquisition in mind, but that when you find them, you’ll serve as their internal champion.
At Lemonpie, we feel strongly about investing in our people from the very beginning, and that starts before they ever become a piece of our pie. It starts with you.
You’ll partner with these candidates to truly get to know them, create comprehensive material to brief the applicable hiring team on not only what they know but who they are, and facilitate the entire process.
Think of yourself as the Mickey to their Rocky. You’ll be in their corner from day 1 because you know what they’re capable of and want to see them succeed.
You’ll also be our very first HR hire and will work closely with our COO as she further establishes our hiring and employer branding initiatives.
If you’re someone who thrives when empowering others, relishes in creative communication, gets psyched about building authentic relationships, and wants to help assemble a team that can’t lose, consider this your formal invitation to keep scrolling.

Perks &Benefits
We work really hard to make working at Lemonpie an amazing experience. We have a team full of truly exceptional people - the kind you’ll be excited to work with. Here’s how we operate:
- Live And Work Where You Want - We’re a distributed team, so you can live and work wherever you want (from your house, favorite coffee shop, co-working space, etc.). For our ideal candidate, proximity won’t influence their productivity because they are internally motivated. Our only requirement is that you have a reliable internet connection and can focus on work during work time!
- Unlimited PTO and Sick Time - We want you to take vacation. In fact, we have a minimum vacation policy of three weeks per year (not including holidays). It’s important to get out and do something. We’ll look forward to seeing pictures when you get back.
- Flexible Hours - As long as you’re available during core business hours and keeping full-time hours (7am-3pm, 8am-4pm, 10am-6pm, etc.), we’ll work with you to create a schedule that’s optimal for you.
- Monthly Remote Stipend - For some, working remotely means lots of coffee shops, a co-working space, or let’s face it - needing more loungewear. We provide a $100 monthly stipend for whatever you need.
- Personal &Professional Growth - We’re serious about helping you improve your craft. Think conferences, books, dedicated time away from work to learn something new…it’s really up to you, but we love to see our people growing.
