About the Opportunity (Confidential Search)

Our client, a stealth-mode, AI-powered digital platform backed by a $13B+ valuation, is building the next evolution of the internet—where social, commerce, communication, and education converge in a single sovereign platform.

As the company scales rapidly toward global influence, we are seeking a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to lead all aspects of the people strategy, from culture and organizational design to talent acquisition, DEI, performance management, and executive development.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a values-driven, mission-focused culture inside a next-generation tech startup poised for global disruption.

What You’ll Own:

• People Strategy: Lead all HR functions across the organization including talent, performance, compensation, benefits, DEI, culture, and compliance.
• Executive Team Leadership: Serve as a key member of the C-suite, reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the CTO, CFO, and other leaders to align people strategy with business growth.
• Culture Building: Architect and sustain a purpose-driven, high-performance culture rooted in transparency, innovation, and humanity.
• Org Design: Build scalable frameworks for team structure, leadership development, and internal mobility as the company grows rapidly across functions and geographies.
• Talent Acquisition: Oversee full cycle recruiting processes for both technical and non-technical roles, including executive recruiting.
• Compensation & Equity Strategy: Drive data-driven total rewards strategies that attract, retain, and motivate top-tier global talent.
• Global Scale Readiness: Help operationalize international hiring, remote-first policy, and employment law compliance.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 15+ years of progressive HR leadership, with 5+ years as a CHRO, VP of People, or similar executive-level role.
• Experience scaling a fast-growing technology or digital media company through hypergrowth (startup to unicorn or IPO stage).
• Proven success in building distributed, remote-first teams across multiple geographies and time zones.
• A values-driven leader who balances business outcomes with empathy and culture.
• Exceptional communication, influence, and strategic thinking skills.
• Experience implementing modern HR technologies, people analytics, and L&D programs.
• Preferred background in AI, SaaS, or platform-based businesses; prior experience in Big Tech or VC-backed startups.

Why Join?

• Work alongside elite technologists and executives from top-tier companies
• Remote-first culture with Scottsdale HQ for optional in-person collaboration
• Contribute to a purpose-driven platform shaping the future of social connection, education, and digital commerce
• Competitive salary + founding-level equity
• Be part of something bigger than business—help create the platform that replaces every other one
