About the role
Armada is hiring a Vice President, People and Talent to own the full People stack and build the infrastructure a globally distributed company needs to scale.

What they're looking for
- Own global recruiting strategy across technical and non-technical functions, and stay close enough to the work to personally run a critical search if needed
- Implement structured hiring processes that raise talent density and hold hiring managers accountable
- Move time-to-hire and quality-of-hire against defined baselines
- Partner with Finance to align headcount planning, workforce modeling, and geographic expansion with budget forecasting
- Own compensation philosophy and band architecture, mapped to Armada levels and defensible against a named benchmarking source
- Own equity strategy at the pre-IPO stage: new hire grants, refresh and evergreen programs, 409A cadence, and the exception process
