HR Generalist

Our client, Kids2, is really good at what they do. And when they're great at their jobs, they help parents be great at their jobs.

Parenting is demanding, and that's where they come in. They want to reimagine how brands can make it easier for early stage parents - not by just selling them products, but by providing holistic solutions that transcend borders, categories and aisles.

No matter their title or department, at Kids2, their job is to create more tiny wins for parents, so they can create bright futures for their little ones. That's a big task!

They are serious about what they do, AND they love to have fun. Their team is hardworking, entrepreneurial, and passionate about helping families create millions, if not billions of tiny wins.
