Head of Talent Strategy & Operations

Required

• 8–12 Years of Experience: Strong background in business operations or program management, with a track record of personally designing and launching programs that improved company performance standards. Prior HR experience is a nice to have, if you come from a top talent-density company.
• End-to-End Execution: Experience launching major company-wide initiatives from initial concept to completion, both independently and with technical specialists.
• Connected Talent Mindset: Ability to see hiring, onboarding, performance reviews, compensation, and offboarding as one continuous loop, with clear examples of how you've fixed broken steps in that process before.
• Process Optimization: Proven ability to organize unstructured processes into clear, repeatable routines with defined owners, deadlines, and metrics.
• Practical AI & Automation Experience: Hands-on experience building or deploying AI and automation tools to eliminate manual administrative work.
• Data & Tech Proficiency: Able to build and analyze metric dashboards, configure HR software, specify integrations, and troubleshoot data discrepancies.
• People Management: Experience managing teams of five or more people, including directly resolving performance issues.
• High-Growth Environment: Experience working in fast-paced, technology-driven companies where headcount and processes scaled rapidly.
• This Role Is Not for You If:
• You prefer delegating execution entirely to others; this role directly handles foundational tasks like handbooks, compliance training, internal communication, and monthly metric decks.
• You expect a pre-made plan or roadmap rather than creating one from scratch.
• You are uncomfortable speaking directly about performance gaps or talent quality issues.
