We are looking for a People & Talent Head to build and lead the organization's talent and people function from the ground up.

This is not a traditional HR leadership role focused primarily on managing established processes. This is a foundational builder role for someone who can create the talent engine, people systems, hiring standards, and culture required to scale a high-growth organization.

As the company enters its next phase of growth, talent quality will become one of its most important competitive advantages. The People & Talent Head will play a critical role in determining who joins, who grows, who stays, and how the organization's culture evolves at scale.

You will work closely with the founders and leadership team to build high-quality, scalable, and practical people systems while remaining deeply hands-on during the early stages.
