We’re building a new type of people team that is remote-first, tech-enabled, and t-shaped.
As our People leader, you will move us in the direction where people ops is like a product, and you will be responsible for shipping “people products” at pace, with continuous iterations.
Your role will cover the full spectrum of “HR” including talent acquisition, in addition to overseeing a small team of People Ops and Talent Acquisition Managers.
You will be an “end-to-end” operator that can do both strategy AND execution (more on that later!)
Your Impact
-
Remote-First - We are called “Virtual Internships” so we like to think we know a thing or two about being remote-first! However, you will take us to a new level by ensuring we perfect the remote-first pillars such as asynchronous communication, virtual bonding & support networks, and inclusivity & autonomy
-
Talent Acquisition- We want to be hiring the very best people, who align with our mission, culture, and values, but don’t worry you won’t be the only one doing this! You will manage and develop our talent acquisition team so we can continue to scale
-
Career Progression Tracks- We recognize there are many ways to grow and progress beyond a hypergrowth startup, thus we want to help our colleagues understand the different pathways on how they can progress their careers at VI beyond just becoming a manager
-
Compensation Philosophy & Levelling- We have a philosophy, but we know we can make it better. We hope you can refine our philosophy and ensure levelling is occurring across the org
-
Learning & Development- “Formalized development is rarely effective in a start-up” true or false? We’d love you to help us with the answer!
-
Analytics & Feedback- We need to develop mechanisms to track the status & progress of our HR processes, including DE&I, onboarding, satisfaction at work, and internal communications.
-
Coaching & Support - We know if you’ve been in HR, you must love working with people. You will be providing situational coaching and solving all employee relations matters, in addition to being a mentor and leader of your own team
-
Other Core HR Operations - Think of this as the ‘catch-all’ of the usual operations that aren’t mentioned above, including payroll & benefits, performance reviews, policies, etc. You name it, you will help solve it!
Your Attributes
TLDR Version? You love working with people, data, and tech in a trinity.
As for the long Version….
-
“People Ops as a Product”- this is a philosophical one, but we hope you will be similar minded as it underpins everything in regards to the people function. You will have a product-led take on People strategy by wanting to build new People Products like Career Progression Tracks, Careers Pages, Learning and Development, Employee Engagement Events and more. You will have a “People Roadmap” and accept sometimes when you ship new things, they may fail akin the to “move fast, and break things” approach
-
Empathetic and people-centric - you are, after all, our lead people person so you’ll have amazing people skills, able to listen to and support employees & managers across our entire organization
-
End-to-End Operator - you don’t worry about who’s responsible for “strategy” or “execution” - you just want to get the job done.
-
Creative and “big picture”- you are proud to say you do things differently; working outwardly and inwardly, planning and implementing. On an hourly basis, you toggle between “creative mode” and “builder mode”
-
Tech-Enabled - you love your traditional “HR Tech Stack”, but you also consistently use no-code/easy-to-use platforms (e.g. Notion, Zapier, Loom, Canva, AirTable)
-
Measure success in People Happiness - you know how to feel the pulse of the organization, not just the satisfaction levels (which is so yesterday!) but also the happiness levels of coworkers - through your own or borrowed systems that you and the team understand can add value to not just work but lives of every VI-er
-
Prefer a lean team- what we don’t think the role is a good fit for is if you believe headcount is a metric for success, or if you have an obsession with titles. You prefer to have a lean team, and like to find quick, clever and sometimes tech or no-code solutions to solve the people ops challenges

-
5 years+ experience in an innovative HR or People Ops role
-
5 years+ experience with or in talent acquisition/recruitment
-
