Head of People & Culture

Roles & Responsibilities

  • You've led People in a fast-moving product/tech company and shipped real systems, not just initiatives.
  • You've personally owned TA outcomes (pipeline, conversion, quality of hire, time-to-fill) and can explain what you changed and why it worked.
  • You've led work across TA + Ops + Partnering and know how to balance speed with compliance.
  • You can push leaders to handle performance and feedback properly - calmly, directly, consistently.

Requirements:

  • Lead and own end-to-end People functions (TA, Ops, Partnering) to deliver predictable hiring throughput, improved quality of hire, and clear performance/underperformance processes.
  • Design and maintain a simple, scalable org structure and decision-making framework to support growth, including managing scale/reorgs and ensuring role clarity across geographies.
  • Build a simplified, automated, compliant People Ops stack and leverage people analytics/headcount planning to inform leadership decisions.
  • Strengthen internal alignment and a credible employer message in the market; drive leadership development, coaching, and support remote-first/distributed teams.
