We need a People leader who has built high-performance cultures inside high-velocity companies. Someone who obsesses over clarity, accountability, and trust. This is not an HR maintenance job.

We need someone who knows how to catch issues early, remove noise, raise the bar, and make the entire org feel aligned and fast. Build people systems that actually work for a growing company. Less rituals and policies that slow people down. We want clean performance frameworks, clear leveling, manager clarity, and a feedback culture that’s honest without being political.<br /> ● Be the cultural backbone. You’ll work directly with the CEO and the leadership team. If something (or someone) is slowing the company down, we expect you to call it out and fi x it. No sugar-coating. No hiding.<br /> ● Help us hire great people without dropping standards. Hiring is another critical KPI, especially in the US as we scale GTM.
