About the role
Every promise we make to families is kept — or broken — by the people we hire. We’re growing fast, and the culture that got us here may not scale on its own. We’re looking for a Head of People who’s been through this stage before, someone who can help institutionalize our culture before growth dilutes it, and build every part of the employee experience (how we hire, onboard, pay, promote, develop, and support people) for the company we’re becoming.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of People/HR experience, including building or scaling a People function at a high-growth startup
- A high level of discretion, confidentiality, and ethics, people trust you with the hard stuff
- Proven experience providing thoughtful guidance to a CEO and executive team, you see all sides of a situation and advocate strongly for employees while balancing growth, compliance, and fairness
- Fluency using AI as a multiplier, this is how we work, not a nice-to-have
- You can architect the People strategy and execute pieces (or all) of it yourself, capable of building and leading a small team as we scale
- Comfortable letting people data guide decisions, engagement, attrition, and hiring metrics inform your recommendations, not just your reports
