As VP of People, you'll be the senior-most People leader responsible for building and scaling the entire People function during a critical growth phase. This is a build-and-mature role where you'll take the existing foundation, professionalize it, and design the systems and strategy needed to support continued rapid expansion.
Key responsibilities include:
Talent Acquisition & Recruiting Strategy: Assess the current recruiting foundation and build scalable strategy, processes, and infrastructure including sourcing strategy, structured hiring processes, interview frameworks, and employer branding. Lead and develop the recruiting team, design hiring practices that keep pace with headcount growth across sales, engineering, product, and customer-facing teams, and own workforce planning in partnership with department leaders. Establish metrics for time-to-fill, quality-of-hire, pipeline health, and cost-per-hire. Build compensation philosophy and leveling frameworks with Finance, and lead employer branding efforts to attract top talent from the DFW region.
People Operations Leadership: Own the full People Operations function including HRIS, benefits administration, compensation structure, and compliance. Set the overall People strategy and roadmap aligned with company growth goals. Partner with the Director of HR to ensure HR programs and culture initiatives are resourced and aligned. Build scalable systems and processes that flex as the company grows, and own the People budget and headcount planning.
Leadership & Team Building: Directly manage and develop the People team, hiring additional team members as the function scales. Serve as a strategic partner to the executive team and advocate for employee experience in leadership conversations.
Required qualifications: 8+ years of People/HR leadership experience, proven track record scaling a recruiting function at a growth-stage company, direct management experience with recruiters or sourcers, broad People Operations experience (HRIS, comp, benefits, compliance), and demonstrated ability to scale teams and processes through high-growth periods. Strong systems thinking and experience managing managers and building People teams required.
Nice-to-have: SaaS or B2B software experience, experience building People functions across multiple growth stages (Series A/B through later stage), and familiarity with modern HRIS and ATS platforms.
