Head of People

An opportunity to join an exciting, well-funded and fast-growing creator economy business.

Electrify is a collective of creator-led businesses - including Veritasium, fern, Fireship, Mentour Pilot, The Rundown AI and others - brought together through acquisition and a common focus on making the world wiser. Each brand has its own history, creative culture and way of working, and we add new ones each year. We are around 150 people across more than 15 countries, fully remote, with the team based mostly in Western European time zones.

Helping each of our teams succeed while building the right shared foundations is the central challenge of this role.

About

The Role

We are seeking a Head of People to act as a central point of contact and trusted advisor for all employees, line managers, partners and leaders. You will ensure consistency of best practices where it matters but allow flexibility where it is needed. You will influence and be a role model of behaviours.

This is a true generalist role that will assist with all areas of the employee lifecycle. We are looking for someone confident in making decisions and using their initiative with enthusiasm and integrity. This role will be key to the Company's growth and is an opportunity to build an effective and trusted People function while creating your own legacy with your small, diverse support team.

You must demonstrate prior success in supporting fast-growing businesses with processes, procedures and organisational culture. You must be willing to work in an agile, 100% remote environment. You will embrace AI and technology to make every touchpoint with the People function easy. A large part of this role is bringing new teams into Electrify, adding value without flattening the culture that makes each brand special.

A passion for delivering exceptional service to your stakeholders is imperative.

We run on HiBob for HRIS, Team Tailor for recruiting, Deel for international employment, Talent Desk for freelancers and Google Workspace and Slack for everything else.
