Moss is scaling from EUR 50mn→100mn ARR and 300→400 FTEs in 2026. We’re hiring an experienced People leader to take Moss’ talent density and performance culture to the next level. Your mission? Build one of the most talent-dense, high-performing teams in Europe.

• Talent density & quality: Bring in world-class talent and keep our talent bar high. 
• Hiring velocity: Drive top-of-funnel and process metrics to ensure we hit our headcount plan. 
• Exec hiring & succession: Run leadership searches and ensure succession for critical roles. 

2) High-Performance Everything (together with the People Solutions team of 1-2 FTEs, both to hire) 

• Culture: Codify culture with our founders, embed our values/behaviors across Moss, and be the face of our company culture within and outside of Moss.

• Compensation: Own our comp strategy and bands across cash, VSOP, benefits, incentives.
• Attrition/retention: Minimize unwanted attrition while executing fair, fast exits when needed.

• Engagement: Run surveys and conduct stay interviews to track sentiment and churn risk.
• Change management: Plan, communicate, and embed change (change =constant at Moss!). 

3) Operational Excellence (with the Head of People Ops + 1 FTE, plus 2 Office Managers) 

• Flawless ops: Ensure that onboarding, offboarding, payroll, etc. “just work”; that people data is clean and accessible; and that employee requests are responded to swiftly.
• Automation & scale: Keep ops lean across entities/geos, leveraging AI and our tooling stack.
• Risk & compliance: Keep us compliant and audit-ready without slowing the business down.
• Offices & events: Lead the team that manages our office portfolio and day-to-day ops, organizes company events, and enforces our T&E policies.
