About the Role

~1 min read

Armada is hiring a Vice President, People and Talent to own the full People stack and build the infrastructure a globally distributed company needs to scale. This is end-to-end ownership: Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, People Operations, and Compliance, with real depth expected in global mobility, entity and employer-of-record management, and compensation design.

Roughly two thirds of the role is that operating stack. The remaining third is employee experience and culture: workspace and physical environment strategy, onboarding, and building learning and development programming from the ground up.

This is not an execution-only seat. Our executive team expects the People function to carry a point of view on how talent decisions drive the business, and to bring that perspective into leadership conversations rather than waiting to be handed requirements. You will define the strategy and own the execution.

You are building, not inheriting. Programs, policies, systems, and team headcount are yours to stand up.

→Managed entity setup and employee management across international jurisdictions
