Human Resources: The Director of People will serve as the primary owner of all HR functions, including:

Background:

The ideal candidate will have a mix of talent acquisition and in- house HR experience, with a preference for growth-stage experience (although not necessarily in a hyper-growth environment).

It’s important to know what it means to work in a dynamic, result oriented fast-paced environment without the infrastructure (and bureaucracy) of a larger company. A positive “can do” approach, resilience and resourcefulness are a must.

The candidate must be able to run the HR function independently and with a high level of autonomy, with project management skills being vital to the success of this role.

It would also be advantageous for the candidate to have a background of driving staff engagement in a remote, globally distributed environment.
