About

• From the Founder
• “I care deeply about talent. I will never compromise on the bar. Every bad hire costs us money, time, and reputation. I need a People leader who feels the same way — who can spot A-players instantly, say ‘no’ to mediocrity, and help us scale without lowering our standards.”
• The Opportunity
• We’re ~70 people today. Over the next two years we’ll grow to 130–150. That scale-up stretch is brutal: too big for hustle, too small for bureaucracy.
• This role is for a player-coach VP of People who’s lived the 50 → 150 journey, ready to own the function, and excited to build from scratch.
• This is not corporate HR. If your instinct is to write policies and run committees, this isn’t for you. If you want to build, coach, hire, and raise the bar — keep reading.
