The Role As Pointr’s Head of People & Culture in the US, you will be the senior owner of our global people function and the strategic partner to our CEO and leadership team. You will set and execute the people strategy that carries Pointr from 150 people through its next phase of growth — building the systems, the culture, and the team that match the company’s ambition. This is both a strategic and a hands-on role. You will oversee the full spectrum of people work — talent acquisition, total rewards, performance, learning and development, employee experience, and people operations — while leading a globally distributed team across geographies. You will bring cohesion across cultures, time zones, and stages of maturity, and you will be a daily collaborator with our CEO.

Lead, coach, and develop a distributed people team across multiple cultures and time zones. Talent acquisition Own the talent acquisition function end-to-end: hiring plans, sourcing strategy, recruiter performance, agency partnerships, and candidate experience for both technical and GTM roles. People operations & total rewards Build scalable people operations, HRIS, compensation, and total rewards programs that work across multiple countries and employment models. Performance & development Run a performance management framework that supports career progression, clear feedback, and high standards across every team. Develop role-based competency frameworks, leveling, and personal development plans so every team member has clarity on growth. Engagement & culture Drive employee engagement through pulse surveys, listening forums, manager training, and cultural programs that strengthen connections across geographies. Be a culture carrier — model Pointr's values (Ownership, Harmony, Scale) and reinforce them in every hiring, performance, and recognition decision. Compliance Own HR compliance and risk across US states and our international entities, partnering with legal and external counsel as needed.

Proven experience as a strategic partner to a CEO or founder — comfortable in the boardroom and in the day-to-day. Demonstrated success building and leading global, distributed people teams across multiple cultures (US plus Europe or EMEA strongly preferred).

Hands-on familiarity with modern people tools across HRIS, engagement, and ATS platforms (we currently use Sage HR, Culture Amp, and Ashby, but equivalent platforms are welcome). Strong commercial acumen — fluent in headcount planning, budget management, and translating people decisions into business outcomes. Excellent written and verbal communicator who moves easily between executive presence and hands-on problem-solving. Massachusetts and multi-state US employment knowledge required; international employment exposure (Turkey, UK, EU) strongly preferred.
