Across its businesses, the team combines audience, operators, and execution to launch scalable products and empower ambitious leaders across Media, B2B SaaS, and AI.

About the Role
Martell Group is looking for a Head of People to build and lead the people function across a fast-moving, high-growth organization.
This is not a traditional HR role focused primarily on administration. The Head of People will be a strategic partner to leadership and a hands-on operator responsible for building the systems that support the entire employee lifecycle.
You will help Martell Group attract exceptional people, develop strong leaders, create clarity around performance and accountability, and build scalable people practices that support the organization as it grows.
If you are a people leader who believes exceptional companies are built by exceptional teams, and you know how to create the systems, standards, and culture that allow those teams to perform at their best, this role is for you.
What You'll Own
People Strategy & Leadership Partnership
- Build and own the People Operations strategy, systems, and processes required to support a growing organization.
- Partner closely with senior leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, talent strategy, and people-related decisions.
- Evaluate organizational structure and identify opportunities to improve clarity, accountability, efficiency, and team effectiveness.
- Partner with Talent Acquisition and leadership to ensure hiring plans align with organizational priorities and future talent needs.
- Identify people or organizational challenges early and proactively bring solutions to leadership.
Employee Lifecycle & People Systems
- Build scalable systems across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, performance management, development, engagement, retention, and offboarding.
- Support compensation, benefits, career development, and employee experience programs as the organization grows.
- Evaluate and improve HR technology, tools, workflows, and automation to create an efficient People Operations function.
- Establish people metrics and reporting that provide leadership with meaningful insight into retention, engagement, performance, hiring, and organizational health.
