About the role

As the Director of People at vCluster Labs, you aren't just administering HR programs; you are the builder who turns people strategy into things that actually ship.

Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Remote Team Support: You have supported a remote team spread across many time zones, and you know how to run programs, training, and employee support asynchronously so no location feels like an afterthought
  • Rippling Fluency: You have run Rippling as an HRIS and payroll platform and know how to keep employee, payroll, and ATS data in agreement
  • AI-First Builder: You use AI tools daily and have built real workflows, agents, or automations that replaced manual people work, not just experimented with chatbots
  • Program Builder: You have built leadership training and culture programs from scratch that people actually showed up for, and you see programs through to a measurable outcome
