About the Role: The Company is seeking a Head of People to lead a focused People function and help build and sustain a high-performing, inclusive workforce. The role partners with senior leaders on alignment, decision-making, and accountability, while translating priorities into practical programs and clear deliverables. Responsibilities include developing performance and manager-accountability practices, coaching managers through feedback and employee relations matters, and maintaining reliable People operations and onboarding. The Head of People will also guide leveling and compensation practices, use workforce insights to identify organizational risks, collaborate with recruiting on workforce planning, and support a globally distributed team. Candidates should have experience leading a lean People function or a broad People remit at a growing technology company, with direct ownership of performance practices, manager coaching, employee relations, and People operations. A track record of delivering measurable people programs and guiding teams through organizational change is required. Applicants should communicate insights and recommendations clearly to senior leaders, work effectively amid ambiguity, and have experience supporting globally distributed, remote teams across multiple employment models. Practical experience improving workflows through automation or AI, with sound judgment around privacy and human oversight, is also expected. Hiring Manager TitleCEOFunctionsHuman Resources

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
