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.

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
