## About the role

Here at Copia, we’ve established the initial foundations of a people team. Retention is high, offer acceptance is high, and we’ve been people focused since day one. However, as we look to grow (think 30-40+ HC a year), we need someone who can take us to the next level in order to properly scale.

## What they're looking for

- A builder. You create systems around people, not the other way around
- Someone adept at having tough conversations with employees, managers, or leadership while maintaining low ego
- Hypothesis-driven and empirical. You bring deep experience from excellent people teams, and you take the time to understand what makes Copia unique. You know when to apply your playbook and when to deviate
- 7+ years of relevant experience
- 3+ years of experience leading People teams
- Experience partnering directly with founders and executive leadership
