As Head of People, you will own the entire people function for this high-growth Series A company. This is a hands-on, strategic role reporting to the CEO with scope to build a team as the company scales.
Key responsibilities include:
- People Operations Infrastructure: Administer Rippling HRIS and Ashby ATS, maintain data integrity, design workflows, and provide reporting for leadership headcount and compensation decisions.
- Compensation & Leveling: Build and evolve the compensation framework including job architecture, pay bands by function, equity guidelines, offer construction, and run annual review/refresh cycles.
- Performance Management: Operate the performance program including review cadence, calibration, promotion decisions, and manager enablement to drive adoption.
- Employment Compliance: Manage compliance across all US states and international jurisdictions (I-9, wage & hour, leave, required trainings, policies). Support SOC 2 and customer security reviews.
- Global Employment Operations: Partner with legal counsel, EOR providers, and finance on entity classification and benefits across US and international operations.
- Recruiting: Own ATS administration, interview process quality, scorecards, pipeline reporting, and hands-on execution on critical searches.
- Employee Relations: Lead performance management, investigations, terminations, and sensitive conversations with sound judgment and discretion.
- Workforce Planning: Partner with CEO and executives on organizational design and people implications of company growth.
You bring 8+ years in People Operations or HR at high-growth tech companies, with deep hands-on fluency in HRIS and ATS systems (Rippling and Ashby experience strongly preferred). You have run compensation cycles, leveling decisions, and job architecture in venture-backed environments with equity structures. You command US employment compliance across multiple states and ideally have international entity experience. You demonstrate sound judgment in employee relations, recruiting credibility across technical and go-to-market roles, and the discipline to improve existing systems rather than rebuild them. Bonus experience includes SOC 2 audits or background in AI, legal tech, or specialized talent domains.
