About Juvia's Place Juvia's Place is a Black-owned beauty brand known for richly pigmented, culture-inspired makeup made for every skin tone. Founded by Chichi Eburu, the brand has grown from a single eyeshadow palette into a global name sold online, through major retailers, and across social commerce. We celebrate heritage, artistry, and self-expression, and we build the same intention into how we treat our people. About the role We're hiring an HR Generalist / HR Manager to own the people function for a lean, fast-moving, fully remote team. You'll report directly to our Founder and CEO and serve as the go-to partner for every employee, contractor, and manager on the team. This is a hands-on, build-and-run role.
