# Head of people, [city] or hybrid

We are hiring our [first/second] head of people. You will report to the [CEO/COO] and own the hiring loop, the performance cadence, the comp framework, and the manager bench. The company is [N] people, [stage]. [Who you will partner with]. You will be the person the founders ask before they post a change.

## You will be good here if

- You have built a people function at a [stage] company before and can describe how cash flows through your last headcount plan in one paragraph.
- You add and subtract programmes. You have killed a perk as recently as you have launched a manager training.
- [The third trait you actually care about].

## What you will not get

A people ops team to delegate the admin to. You will do some of it yourself for the first six months. You will also not get the cover of an existing people function. You will set the operating cadence yourself, and you will be the visible owner of the hiring loop, the comp framework, and the manager bench from day one.

## Compensation

[Currency][low] to [high] base. [low] to [high] percent equity. We post the band because we mean it.

## How we hire

30-second post, screen plus assessment via Picked, 20-minute interview via Picked, one on-site half-day with the CEO, two managers, and an offer-negotiation role-play. We aim to give a yes or no in 7 days.

## What is the rubric

Operating model, hiring loop ownership, comms with leadership, manager coaching, bias for the boring. Not your last title.

That is the JD. Apply via [link] or just send a paragraph about the last perk you killed.

[Your name], [your title]
