Head of People Operations & Talent

About Us

Role Overview

Head of People Operations & Talent

Key Responsibilities

• What You Would Do in the First 90 Days
• + Month 1: Audit the current state of people operations and talent acquisition across all geographies.
• Understand the hiring plan, meet every functional leader, assess agency relationships, and identify the highest-leverage gaps.
• Get familiar with our employment setup in each jurisdiction (direct employment, PEO/EOR, contractor arrangements).
• + Month 2: Stand up the foundational systems.
• This means structured onboarding programs, a recruiting process with consistent interview frameworks and scorecards, and a clear intake system for hiring requests.
• Begin building internal sourcing capability to reduce agency dependency over time.
• + Month 3: Start delivering.
• Fill priority roles, launch the first round of structured onboarding, and present a workforce plan for the remainder of the year aligned to business priorities and budget.
• Have a clear point of view on what the people function needs to look like at 200 people and what you need to get there.

Must-haves

• What we are looking for
• Experience building people infrastructure at a scaling company. You've done this before, ideally at a company that went from ~50–100 people to 200+ across multiple countries. You know what breaks during that transition and how to get ahead of it.
• Comfort with global complexity. Our largest engineering hub is in Bangalore. We have licensed entities in the US, Netherlands, and UAE. Every process, policy, and system you build needs to work across India, US, EU, UK, and UAE from day one. If your experience is single-geography or primarily domestic, this will be a stretch.
• Both TA and people ops capability. You don't need to be the world's best recruiter and the world's best HR generalist. But you need to be credible in both domains and capable of operating across both until you have team members to delegate to.
• Ability to operate with high autonomy in an ambiguous environment. We will give you a charter, a budget, and access to every leader in the company. We will not give you a playbook.
• Written communication skills. We are a globally distributed company. Decisions travel through written communication. If you're someone who's most effective in person and struggles with async/written collaboration, this environment will be challenging.

What Helps You Stand Out

• A specific location is not required. We're open to candidates in Miami, London, Dubai, or Bangalore. What matters more than where you sit is your ability to operate effectively across time zones and travel when it matters.
• A specific industry background is not required. Fintech experience is a plus but not a requirement. What matters is that you've built people infrastructure at a company with real operational complexity.
• Prior "Head of" or "VP" title is not required. We care about what you've built, not what your title was.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Equity in a rapidly growing company.
• Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.
• Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure
• Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.
• We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
• All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
