Head of People & Culture

Velocy is a fully remote, fast-moving team. Keeping that team tight, aligned, and effective as we grow requires someone who thinks about people with the same rigor we apply to the product. We are looking for a Head of People and Culture to own that problem.

This is a builder role. There is no existing infrastructure to maintain. You will create it.

What you will work on

• Build and own the people function from hiring and onboarding to performance and culture.
• Partner with founders on headcount planning and org design as the team scales.
• Design a hiring process that is fast, fair, and finds the right people without unnecessary overhead.
• Build compensation frameworks, equity structures, and benefits that are competitive and transparent.
• Maintain the culture that makes Velocy a place where great people do their best work.

What we are looking for

• 5 or more years of HR or people operations experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
• Experience building people functions at an early-stage or high-growth company.
• Strong understanding of remote-first team dynamics and what makes them work.
• Practical and pragmatic — you build what the company needs, not what looks good on paper.
• Comfortable operating as a team of one while the function grows.

How we work

• Fully remote. Work from anywhere.
• Async by default. We trust you to manage your priorities independently.
• Small team. You will have a direct line to the founders on everything people-related.
• We move fast and cut anything that does not serve the outcome.

What we offer

• High salary and equity with founder-friendly terms.
• Five weeks paid vacation plus local holidays.
• Health coverage based on your location.
• Home office or co-working stipend.
• Four months paid parental leave.
• Regular team off-sites.
