Culture Amp is the world's leading employee experience platform serving 25 million employees across 6,000+ companies. The company is backed by leading venture capital funds and has offices in the US, UK, Germany, and Australia.
You will join as Chief People Officer, leading a strong and well-functioning People Experience function across four countries. This is not a turnaround role—the function delivers predictably, has a capable team, and maintains a respected seat at the executive table. The opportunity is to leverage this platform to drive innovation and shape the future of work.
Key responsibilities:
**Run People Experience (PX) well**: Own a coherent function delivering performance management, engagement, compensation, talent acquisition, capability development, and compliance across four countries. Your deputies will own outcomes, not tasks. You'll design organizational structure ahead of strategy so the company is positioned for change. You'll be a trusted advisor to the CEO and executive team on structure, senior hires, and complex decisions.
**Be credible in the market and with customers**: Your peers are Culture Amp's customers—a commercial asset. You'll speak at global events, join customer conversations, and support Sales and Customer Experience with practitioner credibility. Over time, Sales should be asking for you by name and customers seeking your advice on their own challenges. The bar is substance over polish; you need a specific point of view on the future of work, not keynote-speaker skills.
**Lead on AI personally**: The incumbent leads AI internally—both the technology and ways of working. You must be personally fluent: using these tools in your own work, building things, forming first-hand views. You'll set governance that enables rather than blocks, and drive genuine adoption and behavior change. Culture Amp's own AI transformation becomes an external narrative you can credibly tell.
**Influence the product**: Run Culture Amp on Culture Amp as Customer Zero. Give R&D feedback worth their time. Your practitioner insight should shape product bets, and your internal usage generates proof points Sales can use.
The role is hybrid; Culture Amp asks most employees to work from the local office an average of 2 days per week.
**Requirements:**
- Led a people function at scale in a global, multi-country business, ideally through significant change
- Built teams strong enough to make you unnecessary in operational detail
- Demonstrated judgment on organizational structure, senior talent, and when to intervene
- Track record of saying unpopular things to powerful people early
- Personally very capable with AI: use it in your own work, have built things with it, set governance that enabled adoption across functions you don't own
- Have a specific, defensible point of view about the future of work
- Willing to be deployed commercially: customer calls, speaking at events, supporting Sales. Experience doing this is a plus; appetite matters more
- Find internal practice being externally visible motivating rather than exposing
- Ideally worked in tech or SaaS, though scale and complexity matter more than industry
