## About the role

At our size, informal channels for managing the team are starting to break down. This role builds what replaces them: the structure, compliance foundation, and people infrastructure that keeps Mintlify a great place to work as we grow. You'll lead the People function, keep us compliant in every jurisdiction we operate in, own compensation philosophy and performance strategy, and give leadership an honest, continuous read on people health. Retention and employee engagement are your primary outcomes.

## What they're looking for

- 8–10+ years of progressive People/HR experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role
- A track record of interventions that surfaced people risk early and measurably reduced attrition
- Experience running structured listening programs and making the signal actionable for leadership
- You've lived the 50→150+ scaling transition and know what breaks at each inflection point
- You've run a full performance cycle end-to-end, including design, calibration, manager coaching, comp changes
- Deep compensation fluency: benchmarking, bands, and equity refresh strategy
