Virtru is a venture-backed data protection company (backed by Iconiq Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Capital, and Tiger Global) that reimagines security to enable intentional data sharing. The company has created a suite of data protection applications and an open platform built on the Trusted Data Format (TDF) standard, serving Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
As Director of People Experience, you will report to the CHRO and own the full employee lifecycle experience at Virtru. This is a senior people leadership role sitting at the intersection of strategy and execution, responsible for building and leading a team of HR Business Partners and recruiters while owning enterprise-wide programs across performance management, engagement, organizational design, career pathing, recognition, and talent acquisition.
Key responsibilities include:
**HRBP Team Leadership & Business Partnership**: Lead and scale a team of HR Business Partners aligned to business units. Evaluate and scale AI tooling across the people tech stack (ATS/sourcing agents, interview intelligence, engagement sentiment analysis, workforce analytics, learning platforms). Set the vision for how HRBPs partner with the business as trusted advisors. Coach HRBPs to translate business strategy into people actions and anticipate workforce risks. Establish accountability frameworks and mentor career development for the HRBP team. Partner directly with executive leadership on complex, sensitive people matters.
**Performance Management & Feedback Culture**: Partner with the CHRO to develop end-to-end performance management programs including review cycle design, calibration, and manager coaching. Build a feedback culture aligned to company values that is continuous, honest, and development-oriented. Use talent and performance data to identify trends, surface risks early, and design scalable performance improvement frameworks.
**Employee Engagement & Culture**: Lead Virtru's employee engagement strategy from survey design to action planning and leadership accountability. Translate engagement and sentiment data into targeted initiatives that improve the employee experience. Partner with senior leaders to reinforce culture and operating principles. Monitor employee health indicators (attrition, tenure, morale, eNPS) and develop proactive measures when patterns emerge.
**Organizational Design & Effectiveness**: Lead organizational design work across Virtru, diagnosing structural inefficiencies and recommending changes. Partner with HRBPs and executive leadership on workforce planning, headcount allocation, and span-of-control analysis, especially during periods of growth and scaling.
You are a builder and operator who has scaled people functions in fast-moving, product-led companies. You understand the unique demands of high-growth environments where speed, judgment, and systems thinking are critical. You bring deep experience in cybersecurity or adjacent regulated-tech spaces and have navigated the complexities of venture-backed growth, international expansion, and rapid headcount scaling.
The role is hybrid, requiring a few days each week in the DC headquarters.
