About This Role

As Head of HR at AMPECO, you'll serve as the strategic people partner to the CEO and leadership team during a critical scaling phase (100-500 employees).

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve strategic meetings with the CEO about organizational design for new international markets, reviewing talent metrics with your HR team, and implementing performance management systems across different time zones. You'll balance long-term workforce planning with immediate scaling challenges, often troubleshooting international employment complexities while developing change management strategies for the growing organization.
