About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You'll lead a globally distributed team of HRBPs and People Operations specialists, ensuring that every employee has an exceptional experience — from the moment they join to the moments that matter most in their careers.
Working closely with the Chief People Officer, you will translate People strategy into consistent, high-quality execution: embedding AI-powered tools and workflows across the function, championing our culture, and ensuring our HR operations run with precision and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
This is a hands-on leadership role for a builder who is equally comfortable coaching an HRBP through a complex employee relations case and redesigning a clunky workflow. You bring strong EQ, a bias for automation, and a genuine belief that a lean, AI-augmented team can outperform a large transactional one.

Requirements

What you’ll need

8–10 years of progressive HR/People experience with the technology sector, including at least 2 years managing a team in a global, fast-paced environment.
Proven experience as an HRBP or People Operations leader supporting 500–700 employees across multiple geographies.
Background practicing HR within a professional services or consulting environment.
Strong employment law literacy across at least two of: NA (specifically the US), LATAM, or EMEA.
Hands-on experience with a modern HRIS (Hibob strongly preferred) and payroll/contractor platforms (Deel or equivalent).
Track record of designing or implementing AI-powered HR workflows — not just evaluating tools, but shipping them.
