Enabling a recruitment model that can be executed and owned by functional leaders.
Instilling an organizational growth mindset that prioritizes leadership development (both at the executive and field levels) and ongoing learning.
Establishing and teaching best practices in performance management.
Informing, engaging, and deploying core HR initiatives
Championing leadership principles and cultural values in direct partnership with the CEO.
Candidates must:
Thrive in a fast-paced, high growth environment with a proven track record in building and running People programs at large and small companies with field employees and diverse employee types.
Have a minimum 10 years of experience across multiple People functions with at least 5 years in a Senior Leadership role.
Experience in leadership/ executive coaching and development.
Demonstrate ability to manage a direct team as well as collaborate with indirect stakeholders in support of an organization’s strategy.
Possess a track record of innovation and ambitious vision.
