Position: Head of HR (Engineering & Technology)

Partner with the CTO to shape the people strategy and organizational capability required for the company's next phase of growth.

Elliott Scott HR has been exclusively retained to appoint a Head of HR | Engineering & Technology for a high-growth, founder-led organization.

Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer
, you'll become the strategic People partner to the Chief Technology Officer
, helping build an organization capable of supporting its next stage of growth.

This is not a traditional HR leadership role.

It's an opportunity to influence how a Technology organization scales—working alongside executive leaders to shape leadership, talent, organizational design and the operating model behind one of the company's most critical functions.

Why Leave Your Current Role?

Most accomplished HR leaders don't move because they're looking for another job.

They move because they're looking for a bigger challenge.

The opportunity to partner with exceptional leaders.

The chance to influence decisions that shape the future of a business.

The ability to build something that leaves a lasting legacy.

This role offers all three.

Working alongside the Chief People Officer and Chief Technology Officer, you'll help shape the people strategy and organizational capability behind a rapidly scaling Technology organization.

You'll influence how leadership teams are built, how the organization evolves, and how the business continues to attract, develop and retain exceptional technical talent.

If you're looking for greater influence, broader scope and the opportunity to build rather than maintain, this represents a rare next step.

The Opportunity

As the senior HR leader supporting Engineering & Technology, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to the CTO and Technology Leadership Team.

You’ll help answer the questions that define the next phase of growth.

How should the organization evolve as it scales?

What leadership capability will be required over the coming years?

How do you build an environment where exceptional technical talent chooses to stay?

How do you introduce the right level of structure without slowing innovation?

These aren't HR questions.

They're business questions.

Your role is to help leadership answer them.

Who You Are

You're at your best partnering with highly capable leaders and solving complex organizational challenges.

You've earned credibility supporting Engineering, Product or Technology organizations and understand the realities of scaling technical teams.

You bring commercial judgement, intellectual curiosity and the confidence to challenge thinking when required.

Most importantly, you've experienced growth from the inside.

You've seen the discipline that comes with sophisticated organizations while also navigating the pace, ambiguity and continual evolution of high-growth environments.

You know when to introduce structure.

And when to get out of the way.

You believe exceptional HR isn't measured by the policies it creates.

It's measured by the quality of the organization it helps build.

Why This Opportunity Stands Apart
  • Report directly to an accomplished Chief People Officer.
  • Partner daily with the Chief Technology Officer and Technology Leadership Team.
  • Shape the people strategy and organizational capability required for the company's next phase of growth.
  • Influence executive decisions across leadership, talent and organizational effectiveness.
  • Build an organization designed to scale for the long term.
