Job Description
Who You Are
You're a people-first leader who believes culture is strategy and you have the track record to prove it. You thrive in environments where you can operate across the full HR spectrum, moving fluidly from hands-on compliance work to executive-level people strategy without missing a beat. You're a trusted advisor, a skilled operator, and a genuine culture champion. In a fully remote company, you understand that connection doesn't happen by accident. It takes intention, creativity, and follow-through. You bring all three.
You're also genuinely excited about AI, not just as a buzzword, but as a real lever for doing your best work. You actively look for ways to use AI tools to move faster, think bigger, and free up space for the human moments that matter most.
As VP of People Operations at Swoogo, you serve as the senior-most People leader in the organization, reporting directly to the CFO. You own the full people function from foundational People operations and compliance to talent strategy, employee relations, and the culture that makes Swoogo an amazing place to work. You are simultaneously the architect, the operator, and the culture keeper, and you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of how we work at Swoogo.
