About the Role

Aelum is at an inflection point. We are scaling rapidly and need a seasoned HR leader who has walked this road before — someone who has taken an organisation from 250 to 1,000 people and knows exactly what breaks, what to build, and when.

This is not a transactional HR role. You will report directly to the CEO and sit on the leadership team, owning the full people agenda: culture, talent strategy, compliance, and organisational design. You will bring structure to ambiguity, accountability to people processes, and build a function that can sustain aggressive growth without losing our core identity.

What You'll Own

Culture & Organisational Identity

- Define, codify, and operationalise Aelum's culture and values across all levels
- Build rituals, recognition systems, and communication structures that reinforce culture at scale
- Partner with the CEO to ensure culture remains a competitive advantage, not just a talking point

Talent Acquisition & Strategic Hiring

- Build and lead a high-performing recruitment function capable of hiring at volume without compromising quality
- Design structured hiring processes, scorecards, and interview frameworks for leadership and critical roles
- Own executive search strategy for senior and C-suite hires in partnership with the CEO
- Reduce time-to-hire and improve offer acceptance rates through employer branding and candidate experience

Retention & Attrition Management

- Conduct deep-dive analysis on resignation patterns and root causes
- Design and implement retention frameworks: career ladders, compensation benchmarking, performance incentives, and stay interviews
- Establish early warning indicators for at-risk employees and proactive intervention processes

Employee Relations, Discipline & Compliance

- Build a robust Employee Relations function to manage disciplinary processes,



performance improvement plans (PIPs), and conflict resolution with fairness and legal rigour
- Ensure all employment agreements, NDAs, and contracts are compliant, consistently enforced, and regularly reviewed
- Manage any existing or future agreement breach cases in partnership with legal counsel
- Develop HR policies, handbooks, and governance frameworks that are transparent, fair, and enforceable

People Operations & Process Design

- Audit and redesign core HR processes: onboarding, offboarding, performance reviews, compensation cycles, and promotions
- Implement or optimise an HRIS (HR Information System) fit for a scaling organisation
- Define HR metrics and dashboards to give leadership real-time visibility into people health

Leadership & Team Building

- Build, hire, and mentor an internal HR team as Aelum grows
- Coach and upskill line managers on people management, feedback, and accountability
- Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team on all people matters
