Head of People

Your role as Head of People is to build the recruiting engine that scales Melotech, personally hiring the 10 to 20 exceptional people who will shape the next chapter across product, engineering, go-to-market and creative, and then to build the people function beneath them. Working hand in hand with the founders, you own talent end to end.

What you'll do

• Own outbound recruiting from start to finish: sourcing, screening and running most of the interview loop yourself, across technical, commercial and creative roles
• Build a scalable hiring machine with outbound at its core, extending over time into university hiring, hackathons and referral networks
• Act as the first filter: knowing what exceptional looks like and where it comes from, so only the top of the funnel ever reaches the founders
• Build talent pipelines across both Europe and the US
• Stand up the people function as the company scales: contracts, levelling, performance reviews, compensation, bonuses and benefits
• Design the internal systems and workflows a fast-growing, globally distributed team needs

What you'll need

• 3+ years of experience in Talent Acquisition or Recruitment roles with demonstrated strategic impact; proven track record in high-growth or scale-up environments preferred
• Recruiter or early people hire at a top-tier, high-growth consumer or AI startup, where you personally scaled the team through early growth
• AI-native: you use AI in your own workflow and can credibly recruit for an AI-native company
• Comfortable hiring across both Europe and the US, ideally from a remote or internationally distributed team
• A real network and a systematic, repeatable process, not just a knack for people
• Genuinely passionate about recruiting: it's the craft you want to keep doing

Nice to have

• Experience hiring creative talent too (video, visual, artists), not only engineers and commercial roles

What they offer

• Competitive salary with equity ownership in the business
• Remote work with complete freedom over your life
• Regular global offsites for strategy, bonding and pushing boundaries together
