HR Director; US, Europe & Meta)

Position: HR Director (US, Europe & Meta)
I’m Andreea, Global Head of HR at OPSWAT
OPSWAT is also the kind of place where opportunities tend to find the people willing to take them on
Things move fast, there’s always something new to figure out, and you get a lot of space to make an impact
For me, HR works best when it can move at the pace of the business — close enough to understand what’s really going on and quick enough to make a difference
I don’t see that as a formula, though
I’d love to shape what it looks like together with someone who shares that mindset, but who will also bring their own perspective and challenge my thinking along the way
If this sounds like the kind of team and environment you’d enjoy being part of, I’d really love to hear from you
